In life, there are many directions you can go. But what happens when the route you used to take is suddenly under construction? You might feel lost at first, unsure of where to turn. You might even ask someone for directions. Before you know it, the detour leads you to something even better. It wasn’t easy at first, but two things helped you get back on track: you were open to exploring, and you asked for help. If you ever feel lost in life, those are two great places to start.
Time to Evolve
Sometimes we feel lost because the life we once knew is no longer the same. It could be the loss of a loved one, a change in career, health issues, or the end of a relationship that can cause you to feel unsure. These events often put our lives under construction. It can be hard to navigate these unexpected changes. But do we wait until construction is over to get back to life? We could or we might consider exploring something new. Perhaps this new phase of your life is inviting you to evolve as a person. It might be time to discover another part of who you are.
From Pain to Power
It is often through challenges that you discover strengths within yourself you didn’t realize you had. You probably never thought you could lose a parent and still be able to enjoy life. You probably never thought you would leave your job and start a business. You probably never thought that a health scare would lead to advocacy for others. You probably never thought that heartbreak could lead to self-love. Life has a way of working itself out. Even the most unexpected roadblocks can lead to an incredible destination.
Help Along the Way
While you could do life alone, it’s so much better to do it with others. The best part of going through life is having someone to help you when you get lost. Many of us have been there, but it was because of our family, friends, mentors, teachers, and God that we found our way back. We don’t have to keep going in circles when we don’t know the way. We can get curious and ask for direction. We don’t always have the answer, but we always have a source. The right source can help you find your way again.
Questions That Guide You
The next time you feel lost, ask these two questions. How do I see myself evolving or changing? Who in my life can help me find my way again? These kinds of questions invite you to explore change and embrace vulnerability.
