I know this might not be the right place to talk about it, but some people call me ungrateful while others call me silly. I have a really great job with amazing benefits, but I still feel unhappy inside. I believe I was meant for something bigger, like starting my own business or even something small where I work for myself instead of for someone else. I don’t know where to start or who to reach out to for help. Right now, I feel quite miserable

There is nothing wrong with feeling like you are meant for bigger things OP. And wanting more for yourself doesn't make you ungrateful either and I hate when people say things like that.

Then do it. Start your own business while you’re working. No one’s holding you back but yourself

It’s perfectly ok to feel like this, but remember Allah and your blessings always. Turn to Allah for guidance.
