Many adult children who "lack direction" tend to appear unmotivated or "lazy." Most are far more capable than they themselves believe. So why are they stuck? What I see repeatedly is that they are caught up in (often hidden) overthinking loops that stall them from taking action. These grown children are really hurting. It may not appear that way when they are shut down or lashing out, but I have seen, over and over, how much pain overthinking brings them. It can truly be devastating.
