Why Feeling Lost Can Sometimes Be A Good Thing

This is the chance to redefine yourself.

Why Feeling Lost Can Sometimes Be A Good Thing
Mutiara Kh.

We have all experienced feeling lost in life, whether it is not being happy where you live, being in a bad relationship, or not knowing yourself.

Let me tell you why being stuck in life can be a good thing. Whenever you encounter this feeling, don’t treat this as a negative situation because it’s not. Yes, at the moment you will not be happy, but that doesn’t mean to mope around and feel sorry for yourself.

Change your situations. Visit the areas that you have always dreamed of living. For instance, say you have always wanted to live in California or NYC. Go and visit that area. Remember, this is your life. Only you have the power to make anything possible in life.

Being in a poor relationship can often lead into a lost sense of self. Life is too short to stay in a substandard relationship. You are just as important as everyone else, so don’t set your standards low. Set yourself free because it feels good to be alone sometimes. Go out and be spontaneous; set goals for yourself; do the things that you said you were going to do before.

If you don’t know yourself, try everything. Learn new hobbies, eat foods that you would’ve never tried before, hangout with different groups of people, and stop comparing yourself to others. Rather than comparing yourself to others, redefine yourself instead.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
