Life during high school may not seem that great, to others it might have been the best four years of their life. Each year is a step closer to graduation, to a new start in life. Most people will have their lives figured out for the future, others may not. The bottom line is...it is perfectly normal to feel this way. Not everyone is going to have their life planned out, they are not going to have a map that points them to the right direction. Feeling lost in life is a phase that everyone goes through, I myself felt lost at some point in high school. The key is to not let this feeling consume you entirely. Feeling lost for a certain period of time is okay, however feeling lost the rest of your life is not. Situations like that will only lead to depression and loneliness.
According to wonderlustworker.com, in order to over come the lost feeling in life one has to acknowledge five questions: 1.) What do I want out of life? 2.) What am I no longer willing to accept? 3.) What do my habits look like? 4.) What makes me happy? and 5.) How can I add value to this world? The main goal that people want out of life is to be successful in something one way or another. In order to achieve this, one must put 100% of their effort in order to make that work. If someone wants to have a high paying career and comfortable life, then they are going to bust their butt to achieve this. Getting rid of all the toxic behavior or people that you have been surrounded by can seriously boost your feeling of empowerment to take on life. Reflecting on your habits whether it may be your work habits or your personal habits can help make you be aware of your time. If you are struggling with this, then maybe you could set up a routine that is easy to follow through out the day. Most importantly, knowing what makes you happy will make choices easier to make. Life is full of choices and making a choice that ends up making you miserable will only hurt you. Making choices that you know will benefit you in the long run will be less stressful on yourself. Adding some value in the world can open a range of ideas one can become. If you are feeling bored then maybe you could do some community service by helping build a new playground for the city. This could probably lead to a career of being an architect someday.
In conclusion, feeling scared and lost in life is something people experience at one point. To overcome it, one cannot dig themselves deeper into that feeling. In all honesty, it comes down to the type of attitude you have. If its positive then you will get out of this slump, if it's negative then you will only struggle to find your way out.

I understand and relate to feeling of feeling lost. Sometimes feeling lost does consume me and I really don't know what to do with how I'm feeling. So knowing about those questions, I'll try them out.
ReplyDeleteI've definitely had a time in my life where I felt like things weren't going right, and so I felt lost like I've lost my purpose. When it gets to that point I always try to focus on the positives and the future to come.I think being able to set your goals and what you want in life,so you can work hard for it, and look forward to down the line always helps out. It's okay to feel lost as long as you always find a way to pick yourself up and find that path again.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone has felt alone or lost at some point in their lives, but what matters, is how we choose to get out of that situation. No matter what someone is going through, keeping a positive outlook in life will always help.
