Getting lost is also a path!

How many times do we feel that we don't have the capacity to face a new phase within us? How often do we feel in the dark about a series of topics in our lives? Or how many times do we feel that we lose ourselves in the process of achieving goals? I leave the answer to the reader. The ignorance of the next step is as vast as the human uniqueness. We all feel lost, many times, and in the most varied areas of life.

It is possible to live at great speed, jumping from goal to goal, without realizing how heavy existence has become.

One second the _gps_ works, the next it turns off and you don't know your destination or the right road to get there.

One moment everything seems clear and the next, so many certainties are called into question. This is similar to the feeling experienced by a child who, when walking with parents or close family members, suddenly stops seeing them. In those seconds, the heart accelerates, fear emerges, and the eyes search the space, already in a panic, afraid of never meeting them again.

At certain stages of life, we notice that some hands are loosening and that we are left to depend on our own choices and decisions. Phases in which you realize that you now have to rely on yourself and your internal guidance. As much as others love you, they can't define your path. And it is in these moments that self-knowledge becomes decisive.

Going through your life story with the help of a professional, understanding in which direction you are taking, if that is the desired direction, is a decisive process in the moments in which we feel lost.

I would like to end this brief reflection by reaffirming that the feeling of being lost is more common than you can imagine. The feeling of not knowing where to go can be overwhelming, but as a British theater director named Joan Littlewood would say, “**_If we don't get lost, we'll never find a new route_**”. In the process of growth, you may lose yourself more times than you would like, yet you can always find new paths and new meanings. Yes, you should start this process through accompanied introspection, which allows you to find within yourself your resources and purpose. You should also seek to find in your relationship and in your connection with others an external and secure perspective that allows you to experience each phase in a healthy way.
