No one is lost in life, it’s just the journey is still unknown.
It is believed that when you are convenient or happy at where you are in life, you sometimes think that you have found yourself and purpose. However, to some, this is not true.
To other people, they find themselves not where they wanted to be. They feel “lost” not knowing where they are going and doesn’t even know where to start.

To be honest, in every chapter of your life, you have sometimes felt this way. You felt that you are incomplete, you felt that you have nothing and no reason to live and sometimes the worst is you have nothing to die for. These are the things that hounded and stopped you from moving forward because you felt so scared, paralyzed and hopeless. Finally succumbed to the belief that when you are lost, you are hopeless.
But once you traverse your journey, you have found that even being lost in life, has its purpose and reason.
Living in my personal life, there so much to celebrate, and one of this is my realization that for every moment I was lost, I have the reason to be found. I wrote this, to shed light to those who feel stumbling in the dark.
And these are the three things I learned, why we are meant to be lost at some point of our lives.
First, we are lost because we are bound to discover who we truly are. It is when we lost ourselves, we find the beauty of our true self. We born to a new version and able us to define and understand who we truly are. It is not the route of our destination that makes us feel lost, but it is not finding our true self. The phoenix dies and turns into ashes, to give birth to a new better self. We have to be lost, so our old self dies and birth to the new one that deserves to carry us in this life.
Second, it is not feeling of being lost but it is the fear of taking actions. Sometimes we feel that we are lost, not knowing what step we should take or going, where in fact we are just too scared to take that step. And this fear made us feel lost thus, not making that leap of our lives. And because of this, we learned the value of faith. It doesn’t matter what step we take because what really matters are that we are taking that one step. We will never know what it feels like and to be like in that next stage of our life not until we take that step. If we decide not to move forward, then we keep our self-lost. So however, we step, just step forward.
Third, we are lost because we try to live according to the standards of others. When we become the person of how others wanted to see us, we feel lost, because in the process of pleasing others we devalue and forget our real self. Our very self, our thinking, our beliefs, our dreams and passions are the very core that fuels our spirit to live life. But once we allow others to take the real us, and be tagged or be labelled according to their perception, then we begin to lose our self. We feel lost, because it our self-reminding us that we are not real anymore, that we have to go back to the real us and what we are really meant to be.
It is okay to be lost along the way, as long as you found your true self at the end of the day.
Move forward, and live positive.
