Be one with yourself and loneliness will disappear

A few options to take when figuring out your purpose
What gets you out of bed in the morning? Is it a job that you have, people you have to take care of, or because you actually want to? The responsibilities we have here on earth came to us unexpectedly. We weren't born into these responsibilities, they came over time by the decisions we made and by the people we met.

Can we just sit around and let our fate take its course? If it’s already made then why is there a need to still depend on a bigger and better life than we have now? We all have our reasons why we live the life that we live and our reasons for having the dreams and goals we have. …
Not all of your workdays have to be dreadful
Work can get tiring, there are going to be days where we just don’t feel like going in. It’s not that we hate what we do but it just doesn’t satisfy us enough to want to come in all of the time.
