IT IS OKAY TO BE LOST || WE ARE DESIGNED TO FIGURE IT OUT
Have you ever found yourself in a circumstance with seemingly no way out? or was it a task you were given that seemed hard to complete? is an obstacle you must overcome yet find to be really challenging? If so, that sounds like growth.

Even though the purpose of this article is not to address growth, it would still be helpful to note that since nothing worthwhile ever comes easily, every obstacle you overcome and every achievement you accomplish is a sign of growth.
This post is meant for folks who, like me, may feel disoriented in some way and are unsure of their goals or where they are going. They believe they have not yet realized or recognized their purpose. Everything in life begins this way before we are able to recognize the better days.
You should be aware that no matter what difficulty you are currently facing, you will overcome it. Because of how overwhelming this task feels to you, you might not believe me, but I am confident that this is not the first time you have had such feelings.
I'd really appreciate it if you took a moment to reflect about difficulties you've faced in the past. How challenging they initially appear to be; it might be anything, from playing an instrument to bodybuilding, from working a job outside of the home. Then assess how far you have come and how much you have matured by completing it by comparing it to where you are now.
This is the reason I emphasized that it's okay and normal for everyone to feel lost because we're all built to find things out. If we don't search for it, the answer won't just appear; nevertheless, if we persist in our efforts, we will find it. You can't expect to reap a crop you didn't sow because you have to put in the work and can't just sit back and wait for magic to happen.

Hmm, I think I needed to read this, wait is that English even correct? 😂, I don't know but I hope you understand.
Sometimes I just feel like. I'm not growing nor I'm I depreciating, I'm kind of average and that's one of the unlucky place for any one to ever be.
Yes I have achieved some great things in life but it was not really easy fighting with the part of my mind that tells me I'm never enough. But I'm so blessed to have read this, now I know there is good in reflecting on my difficulties.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us @starstrings01.
Smiles! yeah the English is correct.
You are not the only one that feels that way. Even me, I feel that way also but my mind tells me that it is the same for everyone and I have to keep pushing. Let me tell you a secret, sometimes when I write a motivational post on Hive, I do write them to myself and some of them are mostly what my mind tells me to keep me motivated.
It is not really as if I am perfect, focus, or even 100%. I am as shattered as everyone out there and even more lost than everyone but I try to see even in the dark and keep moving even though I see no path ahead. I trust God to guide me! That's what matters most.
Smiles 🌼, wow that's really awesome Emmy, I can understand, you are truly a good thinker, see how your mind and your brain works so well. Yes you are of course like everyone but you are still unique and that's what makes you seem like you are almost perfect, I guess.
Seeing through the dark and moving even when you don't see light, wow I love this statement. You have a very strong faith and I'm truly overwhelmed. And yes, that's what matters most.
I pray God continues to guide you always 🙏❤️.
Amen! Thank you
You're welcome 🤭🤭😍💖🧡☀️☀️💦💯☀️💯💖☀️💖🌌💦💯💯🌌💖.
thank you for always!
You're welcome Sir 🤗❤️.
This reminds me of the music sang by Nightbirde, titled, 'It's okay'.
I decided to listen to the song... Seems I have listened to the song before. I noticed I have seen her face before. She recently died of Cancer. Too painful to have lost someone with such potential and a beautiful voice.
Yeah, last year, she was among those auditioned in America's Got Talent(AGT). And that was the music she sang.
I have it on my Playlist.
What a great loss, it is well 🥺.
Yeah, the song is beautiful. I watched when she sang the original on the audition stage.
Oh my!!! That's so sad 😢.
yeah so sad it is!
It's not for us to know why, we just trust that God has a reason for everything that's happening and will happen 😢🥺.
Yeah, he really does.
yeah so sad it is!
I think I will check this out, it's not sounding familiar at all 😁.
Yeah, go check it out.
Yes I will, but I haven't yet. Having a little challenge ☺️.
This is soothing like a song. Maybe you should compose one about it.
Smiles. I am bad at singing, not to even mention composing.
Test makes two of us. 😂
There’s this and there’s also me and my group that get hit with random waves of sadness and depression out of the blue. Like Santan Dave said “it’s like I’m happy for a second then I’m sad again”.
smiles.. but truth is that all would be well!
Would it? I mean that’s what we all say and expect but will it actually all be well?
Sigh 😪, we just have to keep hoping for the best.
The funny truth about life is that there are always certain things that we will find by serendipity. That is the beauty and essence of being lost for a while, especially when you are starting out on something new.
Imagine with me. Imagine your life is a straight road. There are a number of things that we just would never have come across had it not been that we had never taken some detours along the way. These detours could be challenges, ups and downs, or discouragement. Isaac Newton was probably frustrated about some exams on power circuitry and just went to rant under a tree where an apple landed on his head. It is upon this incident that birthed the three laws of motion that many systems and technologies we have now are built. He probably found the idea by serendipity and propounded astounding theories behind it.
My point is that I believe there is still essence to be found in the place where one feels lost. Our seemingly complex nature has the power to find meaning in the meaningless. One just needs to push through, and the fog will clear out soon, or may be later than soon. We are designed to figure it out anyway, so it is okay to be lost.
What an explanation!!! You are an engineer but yet your English is so good, wow 😍.
I love the example you made. We just need to keep moving into the unknown to know what's really there.
Oh, wow. Thank you so much @hopestylist
You're welcome @olujay 🤗.
hmm... serendipity, is a new word in my vocab now... attaining things by chance.
Truth is, I discovered Hive that way. If those challenges and downs had never happened in my life, I may have not met the person that introduced me to Hive. So everything stumbling block is like a pathway and we should appreciate every downs in our life because they are indeed what takes us to our fulfilled path.
Lol, I think I learned that word from Josediccus.
The way life works like a maze. It is puzzle and we are the game players. Thank goodness you found Hive, by serendipity or not, because it has now become a home for me.

Wow...I enjoyed reading this and it's a great motivation to me. Sometimes we just feel like giving up on some of our dreams. Sometimes things may seem not be making headway. But with focus, consistency and determination, we will definitely achieve our goals. All we need is to stay motivated. Thanks alot for this!
Thank you a lot for reading my article and making your contribution. I do appreciate it.
Well said boss.
What an inspirational post boss..
Indeed, There are specific information/knowledge/capacity that power's the next level we desire even within the challenges and pressure we have to go through. We are to always find, accept and allow them push/inspire us into the best version of ourselves. We are all work in progress.
Thank you @starstrings01 for refreshing us.
As long as you’re not weary when you find yourself lost, I’m sure one will eventually get an headway if one keeps moving . Sometimes, it’s that leap of faith that always matter.
I’ve experienced and still experiencing such situations, where I feel like I’m lost, not progressing or not doing well enough for myself. Many times, I’ve thought of just disappearing and not exist anymore when it becomes much overwhelming.
But then, I’ve just come to realize that I have to face it myself, no one is gonna do that for me. I need to give myself a positive affirmations just to keep holding on to life and so I can eat the good of the land.
This post has really made me to realize that I’m not the only one facing stuffs and that we are ‘all built to find things out’.
Thanks for the motivational post @starstrings01
Seems the message is sent to me I directly, everything can not always work out the way we want, some days are will be good while somedays will be bad and we will be left alone to solve the puzzle by ourselves.. that's life.
But one things I'm always grateful for is that , life is not a game of one chance, we are lost in the adventure, there's always a chance for us to find ourselves... that's if we are ready to rise on our talons... thanks for this beautiful message.
It good to meet you @starstrings01 and I also appreciate the fact that you made yourself available in promoting hive in Nigeria am also a nigerian too and a musician i mean a upcoming one
Hmm..
This words are like magic and has opened me to another realm of understanding.
There are days I feel like a confused soul.
I just feel like what am I even doing sef.
I've tried this, I've tried that.. it now appears as though I'm a prostitute in decision making.
Okay... Thanks for this.
Because, now I know that it's a process of growth till I get to understand my real purpose.
Thanks for this man!!!
