Seriously, forget the whole epiphany thing. Its just gonna stress you out. You can never be completely sure that any decision you're going to make is going to be the right one. Even in retrospect you won't be able to tell. Thats life. If theres something you think you want to do, figure out how to do it. If you have no idea what you want to do, pick something and stick with it until you either decided its what you want to do, or you can come up with a bunch of specific reasons why its not what you want to do at all. If you have no personal preference in life choices always try to pick the option that will open up the most opportunities for you. For instance, if you don't know if you want to research Astrophysics or open up a bowling alley, get your Ph.D. in astrophysics. You can always go back and open a bowling alley after you get your degree, but you can't start doing astrophysics research after you've been running a bowling alley.
