Do You Ever Wonder How Your Life Ended Up Here?

Written by K Schenk

soulcravingslost Do you ever feel lost? Recently I was driving in a new community and found myself completely lost. I was frustrated, didn’t have a map and had no idea how to get to where I needed to go. I followed my instincts and eventually found my way — even though I ended up being quite late to where I was headed.

I’ve had this same sense in my personal life.

I look at where I am in contrast to where I thought I would be. If I glance at where I might end up it can be altogether frightening. I realize that there are forces at work that help shape my destiny that are so beyond what I can control . Some of those forces can lead me to a good place, but others may not. When I look at how short life is, I wonder what I’m supposed to be doing.

Life is a gift and it’s hard to know if I’m squandering it while I try to sort out who I am and what my role in society is. When I stop to assess my current place in life, I do realize that there are some things I can do to help shape my destiny. It takes work, deep thought and being in community with those around me. It is my job to figure out who I am and who will I be tomorrow. Where do you go to look for yourself?
