When You Feel Like You're Lost

Do you ever feel like you're lost in life? Do you feel like you don't know what you're going to do or what will happen in the coming days? Do you feel afraid of something that will happen that's going to change your life, probably for the worst? Do you feel like you don't know what the hell you're going to do? 

I've been there, you've been there, everybody has been there. Even if you feel like you're alone in this, you're definitely not. 

Stop Comparing

In this thing called life, there are countless ways to experience it. There is no one size fits all way to do something or be something. What may be good for that other person may not be good for you. How you do your job might not be the same as how she does her job. Everybody is different and there is nobody exactly like another person. Stop comparing yourself to that Facebook picture of your friend or Instagram post of your celebrity idol because they have different lives than yours.

Stop Planning for Everything

Don't get me wrong, it's good that you have a plan, but sometimes things don't always go according to your plan. You need to learn how to adjust because the world will never adjust to you. If Plan A doesn't work, then have Plan B or C or D or any letter in the alphabet. Sometimes the best plan is to not have a plan and let it flow.

Stop Searching for the Perfect Path

Remember that there's no such thing as a perfect path in life. People get detoured and derailed in their goals. What they wanted to do a few years ago might be different from what they are doing right now. People often change their dreams and goals. There might be a far better opportunity in a job that you never thought you would be doing, or in a country that you never thought you would live in. It might not be the perfect path, but it will be the exact path that you need to take.

Always remember that sometimes you need to get lost to find yourself again.
