Is it normal to think your time is up

So I had this goal in high school sports to win state and I did. However after I was done I got the feeling that the reason I was put on this earth was to win this state title and nothing more. I later got the sense that soon I would leave this world. (I want to point out I'm not suicidal this is just how I feel) Now by leaving this world I didnt know if this meant I would die or I would just leave. I was never sad about it it was actually very peaceful feeling but if felt like it was just a fact plain and simple. I continued to carryout my life but I often went to bed asking myself will I wake up tomorrow? I know it sounds disturbing to think that all life was to me was this sport but I can't describe the feeling. I was a senior when this all happened but Im in my third year of college now and these thoughts have suddenly came back. I may not have described this situation well but I am concerned because I've never heard of anyone having these thoughts. I want to ask my parents but Im worried that they will be crushed by my feelings. I have talked to some friends and they seem to understand but not really have a reasoning for it. If you have questions just ask ill let you know the answer in the comments I just want to put this issue to rest.

    I kinda know what you mean becos I was a junior elite gymnast and I was on track to be able to be on the Olympic team and them well some shit happened and I wasn't able to complete the goal. Its weird when something you trained for as long as you can remember is taken away from you it makes you feel lost and purposeless. Be proud you made it to your goal I never got mine.

      I mean I'm proud but I'm worried that maybe obtaining this goal led to more problems. If i didn't complete the goal would I have a chip on my shoulder the rest of my life instead of being satisfied. And its not that I felt I lost my purpose its just that It was like I completed my life and I'm left wondering ok when am i done now
