Getting Lost

Some of the people I know in their 20s say they are lost at some point. They don't know where their career is heading, they don't know if they will ever get married, they don't know if they are living up to other people's expectation.  As a result of this, they dive into great depression and gets discouraged from what they see in life.  Sometimes, it's okay to get lost. It's a rite of passage that we all have to go through in order to get to the destination that we desire and are meant to be. We might be frustrated because we have not figure things out yet; the word yet however signifies that we have not come to our destination yet but we will. Getting lost is a wake up call to our soul and it tells us what needs to be changed and as the result, we become a new person with a new mindset, ready to tackle what the world gives us.  Maybe the purpose of getting lost is not to frustrate us, maybe its purpose is to wake us up from the coma that leaves our life empty.  People say it is the not the destination that matters, it is the journey that is worth looking back. So hey it is okay for us to get lost, we should sit back and enjoy the ride because the journey is all that matters in the end.

Believing in the Self

It's easy to say that we believe in ourselves, our ability, our strength, etc. But the question is do we truly believe in ourselves? The only way to test it out is not just saying it but by actually getting out in the real world and experience it. It is tested especially when we run into obstacles in our lives; when we encounter a problem, we either run away from it, hide away from it, or we can trust ourselves and confront it.  When we believe in ourselves, we have to acknowledge that it's normal to make mistakes; we will make mistakes on the way to success and it's okay because the purpose of mistakes is to help us learn from them and to become a better person and its goal is to prepare us for the best to come. When we truly believe in ourselves, we can face anything that life gives us and the result is that we will be a stronger and wiser person.
