I'm Lost

posted December 27th, 2014 at 12:27 PM

Lately I've been feeling like I'm not on the path I'm supposed to be in my life. I feel like no one really understands where I'm coming from anymore, and I don't feel confident in the choices I've made. I don't really feel like "me." The thing is, I want to be the kind of person that will take action to make my life better, but I don't even know what it is I want to be doing with my life so I don't know where to start. I just feel kind of empty and meaningless right now. How do you even go about finding your passion/meaning in life??

How?

"How do you even go about finding your passion/meaning in life?"- by not looking for it.

I would think that if you are always searching, you are also always rejecting. Maybe just stop for a moment and be at peace with everything as it is.

You may not be passionate about your home, but you can still find meaning it making it a livable space. Same with your job, perhaps it sucks, but you can still find purpose by doing it as well as you can.

Why get so hung up on finding your one purpose in life when you can find purpose in every little mundane thing you do? Stop making things so hard on yourself.

Start with your hobbies and interests

Maybe you are too comfortable...go sleep under a bridge for a few nights.

start small

1. cut out extraneous background 'noise'
2. phase out habits that eat away at the spare time you have
3. try meditating a few minutes a day
4. if you have a partner & children, engage with them more
5. think about what you are spending your time DOING...take away personal relationships & family, work, and sleep, and what do you have? what ARE you doing? make those hours count.

Just do it

I'm constantly in a funk and I believe that is a part of life. This is your time to grow... When you are down, broke, depressed or passionless, you have nothing to lose. Understanding this is immensely powerful; you have everything to gain! I wish for you the shift in paradigm. This is how my life gets better and better.

you are a unique and special snowflake

But Look around you.

The majority of the population does not get to live the life they want to live. People working at the grocery store. People delivering mail.

Life does not care how you feel. Did you spend your youth excessively partying and wasting your money? Did you date the badboy who turned out to be a dead beat? Regardless of what decisions you are not confident with they were your decisions at the time. Not everyone can have everything. Your choices today paint your future.

Dreams await for the people who prepare and work for it. Many which had the insight to start in their youth. Is it gonna be yours? That is up to you.
