Living a life of purpose

With age I am seriously doubting the whole business of business. We are told that there exists hole in us and its our duty to fill it, with relationships, money etc. I am questioning the end goal and result of living like this. Surely there is the feeling of achievement but that fades fast. Look inside and you will see I am not making this up. Nothing wrong chasing success or wealth. But I am saying this is not what everyone wants and there should be a respectable option for them and other kinds of people. What if one does not want to be an industrialist, and does not necessarily wants to be an employee either. This is the majority of people. Why is there single definition of success? People are different and there must be different ways to live. Different definition of success and different responsibilities for different people. Mind you I am not taking about profession here, but whole lifestyle. I think this lack of option in today's life is bringing this much depression as people are forced to adjust endlessly into mold not meant for them. People are born different and should life that suites them. I think this used to exist in the past which somehow got lost. I am not saying having these options will bring endless bliss, no but it should make for a more fulfilling personal lives.
