How did you realise what would make you happy?

My question is about how you figure out what makes you tick and what you're destined to be doing, what will really make you happy. I'm 25 and no clue what I should do career-wise. I've tried a few different things but nothing stuck, neither did college. I guess I either can't think of anything I'm interested in enough, or I'm interested, but only slightly, in too many things. I'm reluctant to go back to university and be done and starting a career by the time I'm 30, although I know it's perfectly normal thing to do. I feel as though until I make some kind of a decision, I will not be happy at all. Those of you fortunate enough to be doing what you love, how did you come about it? Was it trial and error with lots of things that didn't work out? Where you lucky enough to always know? Or did you just go with something that only semi-interested you in the hopes it would grow on you? This is such a puzzle to me I'm interested to see how other people figured their lives out!
