"...the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. There the hand of the Lord was upon him." - Ezekiel 1:3.
As the Bible states, God reached his hand out to Ezekiel, displaying to him his purpose and calling in which it was his job to fulfill. This applies to us as humans also, that we all have a God given purpose that needs to be completed. God may not reach his hands down to show you what he has in mind for you to do in your future, but it is through what you love most that he will guide you to your calling. And sometimes that is hard to wrap our brains around, that God knew in advance what we were going to do with our lives yet we still live through free [will], and that [will] could be to do good or to not do good. It depends on how we live our purpose out.
A question we may ask ourselves though - at any age - is "What is my purpose?" And that is one I cannot answer to you directly, only God can. It is through praying and getting to know Him better in which you will find inspiration, comfort and the drive to do well in your calling. Another way of considering a spiritual gift rather than asking "What is my purpose?" could be to find what you are good at. Sports? Music? Intellect? Arts? What is your gift? God didn't make you good at something for no reason, he made it so you could use it for Him. And now is the time: consider what your purpose might be and try to do as much as you can to use it for Him, and in the end, after all the worldly saturations and fads go away, it will be you and your gift that would have made an impact on what God used you for.
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." - Ephesians 2:10
