Dear Jack,

It is your life.You are lost and dumbfounded now because you are still not sure of what you love and what your role is. At the same time, you are constantly looking at the world and wondering where you should be, what your story is. Sometimes you wish someone could tell you exactly what to do and how to do it..things would be so much simpler.

However, that handbook on “how to live” is never completely made for any of us. Some of the writing starts when our circumstance create certain reactions and thoughts. People color the pages with their opinions but in the end, only you can write into your handbook. That is where the power of your choice and belief comes in.

You are very young right now and there is a special beauty in that state. How will you know what you want and what you can really do, unless you do start trying things out? I am sure there must be some basic things you like. Perhaps you like a subject, perhaps you enjoy this or that and are actually good at this particular thing.
Its a match of aptitude and interest to determine the next few steps of the long stair-case upwards.

The beauty of life is that you will never entirely know why you are here but there will be moments when you are truly present. That is when you will grow to appreciate what you have and see the whole picture, rather than only particular parts of your life.

Even i dont know why i am here. For years that bothered me and left me disillusioned amid-st the chaos, but i do know that there are a few things and people whom i love and i want to experience so many things in life. I still dont know yet whats the best of me 🙂 I smile at this because it represents “yep, who knows what i can do? even i dont yet but i got a whole life left to find out” It wouldnt be any fun if i knew everything, right?

Same goes for you. Its the journey which will teach you so much and you will learn more about yourself over the years. Dont worry so much. You dont have to live your whole life in one day!

But yes, for a start, do consider writing down what you enjoy and think you could be good at. Seek some counselors, take myers-briggs test, try out new activities and then start having some idea where you will walk. Its a start but definitely not a dead end. You’ve got a lot left to see and this uncertainty and confusion will push you to get closer to what you want, rather than just taking whatever happens to come along the way.

Good luck Jack! You’re not lost at all, you’re on a voyage now and its going to be quite a ride on your own

– Jess

I understand how you feel Jack. I’m still trying to figure out my purpose too. I have feeling it’s something great that has yet to be revealed to me!

Namaste
