I've often wondered where I am and where I'm going; I think we've all had those moments where we feel adrift, aimless or directionless. It's funny because in those moments I feel most stuck, held in place, despite the feeling of drifting along with no purpose.
It's a sinking feeling or maybe I feel like I'm spinning in every direction at once with no ability to choose a way to go and no courage to take the first step. It's something I don't really understand; I only know that it happens and when it does I need to recognise and deal with it.
At times I've rubbed my eyes, pinched myself, and thought, this can't be happening, but it can and does but that's not of most importance or what really matters; what I do next is the most important thing, and the direction I take of course.
I believe that imagining the future, seeing it in one's mind's eye, is one of the most powerful activities when in moments such those I mention above because, if that vision is powerful and meaningful enough, it is easier to set one's course towards it. None of us can dictate what our futures may look like, there's too many unknows and things can change in a split second. However, I believe we can put things in place, thoughts, attitudes and finally actions, that can help carry us to those destinations we seek.
We cannot alter the course of the wind, neither can we speed it up or slow it down, however with a destination in mind and a course set we can alter and adjust our sails to help us reach it with greater chance of success.
Life is not always within our control. Our jobs, social groups, health, intimate relationships, financial comfort and everything else about our lives are open to influence and chance; but, if we look in the right direction and apply some easily found elements to our journey we are more able to shape it to resemble the vision we have of it in our minds.

Ah yes, there are times that things happened not according with our plan nor we hope.
Yet, we should not be depressed, lost hope of lose our patience.
Who knows, we are just being redirected to what is better!
Happy weekend!
Depression is an over-used work I believe, so many times just a word people use to excuse their lack of action. Yes, there are many clinically diagnosed depression sufferers, however so many who use it as a crutch to lean on. Just my opinion.

Oh well maybe, those who wanted to achieve this and that without working hard for it..

The truth is we just cant control the circumstances around us, because even if the routine works of life are stereotyped, still the catalysts fall from different angles that keep us unplugged.
Well, imagining the future is good, even when we feel aimless. But, I personally believe what we do now - are the sums of event that brings tomorrow. So, future is on the making each day.
Again, worrying too much about messed- up life shouldn’t be a sense of bother, life is too short to let loose tensions and freshen mind to enjoyment.
I think you have summarised it all very well so thank you for adding such value to my post with this comment, I appreciate it.

You are welcome and its just my pleasure to read out something special and share how I felt about the main story.
It is the rule I think, when stories are shared and comments are made, the personal story gets validity.
Have a nice day,💚
It's important to know how to accept those things that we can't control even if, unfortunately, sometimes it's not easy to do.
In my view, I believe it is necessary to focus on what is in our control, accept what is not and for the rest follow the route we have given ourselves for our journey.
It happens to feel lost, without a goal, but they are fleeting moments; In my opinion, when it happens it's good to stop and reflect a bit, perhaps meditate and then set off on our way again, we'll find the way because we're not really lost, it's up to us to know how to follow the map and know how to use the compass.
A strong hug!
Focusing on those things that we can control, rather than worrying about those that are not, is solid advice I think.
I hope you're having a lovely weekend Antonio, and all is well.
Becca 🌷
Yes have a good weekend come on, I have a bit of a headache but it will pass.

I think pizza cures headaches😉
I hope you are also having a peaceful weekend.
A hug!🤗
