If this is any help, I also don't believe we are suited to only one particular path in life as far as study, careers or anything else goes. Well, perhaps a few gifted geniuses are, but for most of us we are a little more well-rounded in our development and have a number of aptitudes and a number of activities that we might enjoy equally.
However, life is short and it is not always possible to be able to focus to the same degree on all of them. You may be a perfectly good lawyer and also may have done just fine at something else. We can torture ourselves in life with "what if's" and "if only's". How might my life have turned out differently if I had chosen this other path.
In a way, this type of thinking can be fruitless fantasy and another way to procrastinate. Every life choice has it's upsides and downsides. I can guarantee you that the farmer out hoeing his field by hand at 6 am on an almost freezing morning has also spent a good deal of time wondering, "what if I had gone to college and become a lawyer? I could be in a warm bed right now, sleeping in until 8am, and then off to my cushy job in a nice office, raking in the big bucks, instead of freezing my ass off out in the cold dark morning, hands blistered, and worrying if I'm going to make the mortgage on the family farm this month.
If you absolutely hate everything about what you are doing, then by all means, life is short, considering changing paths. However, if you do enjoy certain aspects of what your doing and find others a little tedious and mundane and less preferable to some cocoa and a nap, then that is just life and comes with any job. After all, they don't call it work because it's fun like play! That's why they have to pay us to do it!
Also good to keep in mind: Very few people have the capability to become a lawyer. Very few people in life earn as good an income. Those are not to be dismissed lightly.
