It hasn't stopped pointing. You've just been spinning too fast to read it.
Somewhere under all the trying-on of other people's paths, there's a direction that's stayed constant since before you started doubting it — the thing you were drawn to before anyone told you what was practical. The needle never actually moved. You did, repeatedly, away from it and back.
A compass doesn't work by trying harder. It works by the person holding it finally standing still long enough to read it. Most searches for purpose fail not because the direction is hidden, but because the search itself — the constant comparing, pivoting, chasing — is the spinning that makes the needle unreadable.
What's the thing you were drawn to before anyone told you it wasn't practical? Is it still there, underneath everything you've tried instead?
Sit still with that question for five minutes, no phone, no scrolling for other people's answers. Just let your own needle settle.
