Feeling Lost

Sometimes I feel so lost.
Have you ever just felt lost and like you didn't know the direction your life was headed?
That's how I've felt, off and on, since college up until now. It hasn't been a consistent feeling, but the fact that this feeling has been ever-present in my mind for a prolonged amount of times is "no bueno" (not good), "tres mal" (very bad) and just the pits.
Well I finally am done with feeling lost.
Hopefully.
Maybe.
I am ready to do what it takes to have assurance about the direction that my life is headed.
This doesn't mean that I am going to know exactly what I will be doing with my life (besides taking care of my precious boys), but it does mean that I will have comfort in knowing that whichever direction, industry and/or purpose I take on, it will fulfill me.
I have finally put my trust and faith in God, and that means I will not be "searching" for my next career field, but letting God reveal it to me. So when an idea spontaneously pops into my head or when I have a strong urging towards an idea, that's when I'll follow it because those are the ideas from God, and after all that's the whole point of my renewed introspection.

Have you ever felt lost about a certain area of your life? If so, what did you do to navigate your way through? Did you try to organize the clutter of your mind by making lists of desires and goals, by meditation or what?

  1. I use to feel like this ALL the time! Then like you stated I just decided to try to stop searching and just fill that time instead with doing the things that brought me joy. If that means just watching movies/youtube then thats what I did for hours on end. Also I would let the frustrating moments pass by writing a quick list of the ten things that I was most grateful for and I almost instantly felt better.

  3. I totally know the feeling - and I think being a 20-something year old causes a lot of wonder when it comes to success, etc.

    1. Hey Kimberly! This is so true. I'm 30 and still in this phase. Maybe I'll get some resolve at 31.

    1. Thanks Vett! Its funny that I always need a break when I haven't been praying. I should probably connect those dots faster, haha.
