Lost Is A Place Of Dwelling As Well!

Everybody is lost at some point and then we all find a place where we feel like we are found. We can be found by loved ones or ourselves, in a new light: understanding a newer side of oneself. Some tread or reach the unknown or feel lost for longer. Almost fearing that they will never find their way back home. Bad experiences, testing times, trauma, loss, challenging times and many such experiences lead us to a place called 'lost'. You feel lost in a way that you feel that no one understands the depth of the pain or fear that you are going through. 

If everyone reaches this place at some point or another, no matter what their gender, age, or place in life, then why not call it a place and move into it with a view to explore what lies ahead? Those who have been lost at some point owing to whatever circumstances have spoken about it as a place where they felt enormous confusion. However, they may have also spoken about becoming more resilient to giving up and emerging stronger, such that trivial matters that seemed huge before would not torment them as much. Lost might be a place that gives you an opportunity to find yourself. It can allow you to open your eyes that have been shut or have been avoiding seeing something that has been right there, perhaps because noticing it seemed inconsequential or not urgent. Noticing and being watchful makes you speak what is relevant and helps shred the irrelevant and excessive. 

When you are lost, you are going through many emotions that you deem negative. It seems endless and you know what would make you feel better-a good place that is free from fear, where you can go freely and enjoy doing what you like. Being lost can be like finding the unknown. Your own unknown. When you spend time there, you come out of it knowing something you wouldn't otherwise. A truth, a perspective or a view of something that helps you. Why do you have to be lost? Why not be always safe and not go where you do not want to go? Because you are not at liberty to choose. 

If it is left to each one of us, we might choose one way, the same way, the best ones that seem best or something else. These paths need not always be what they seem like. Perhaps that's why we are all clueless as t what will happen next. We feel jolted when a new reality hits us. Sometime, tragedy has to hit to bring us closer to this place called lost. What can one do while being there? Wait! Waiting and seeing things unfold is what you can do to begin with. The rest may make sense as you allow time to do so. Your mind is constantly running and working to bring you information based on what it sees and senses. It is quick to make connections and draw conclusions. It will bring forth information that will enlighten you and better prepare you for your road ahead based on your choices and strengths. Or it will build you in some way and help make you a person that faces the same field again with more conviction. Such that when others see you, they draw motivation from you. They see you as a guiding light when they are lost. Anything is possible. So as you face these troubling times, prepare your mind to be able to narrate what you experience, how it can help others. This is one way to reevaluate what you miss seeing. Not knowing how something helps, pleases or heals you are losses that are hurtful, bringing guilt and are best avoided.

The next time you feel like you are lost or are unaware of what will happen next, tell yourself that you never have absolutely known what would happen next or change next. Life is unpredictable. It has always been. And you are here to experience it all. Feeling panic is natural. Knowing that it is alright is essential to not let it overshadow your peace of mind beyond a certain point. You need not fear that you will be lost forever. When nothing is permanent, how can this state be permanent? It will also change. Go with the flow, reach the shore and look back at how far you have come. That much can be predicted.
