What If You Don't Know What To Do With Your Life?

"If you don't know what to do with your life, smile at the opportunity of joining the many interesting people out there who do not know what to do with their lives. They are those who are not tied to routines and schedules. They are those who consult their feelings to see if what they are doing is what they really want to be doing."

When you take a detour from your routine and scheduled life, either self-imposed or otherwise, you may find yourselves temporarily lost not knowing what to do with your life?

You had a plan to achieve a certain goal in life. You kept yourself busy pushing yourself to work harder, faster, and better to stick to your plan in achieving your goal. Suddenly, an event changed everything. Things did not come together the way you expected they would. The important participants in achieving your goal did not behave as you anticipated that they would. The tasks that you kept yourself busy with are no longer there. You stagger as time ticks away not knowing what to do with your life.

According to Jean Piaget, “Intelligence is what we use when we don't know what to do, when we have to grope rather than using a standard response.”

If you don't know what to do with your life, smile at the opportunity of joining the many interesting people out there who do not know what to do with their lives. They are those who are not tied to routines and schedules. They are those who consult their feelings to see if what they are doing is what they really want to be doing.

You know that life is full of surprises, so take a deep breathe. No matter how much you plan, you never know how things are going to turnout. Embrace the uncertainties of life. There are certain moments in life when you need to pause for a while. It is possible that you do not know how to start again because you don't have any plan. Just act for the moment. Sleep. Shout. Cry. Sing. Dance. Walk. Run. Eat. Laugh. Smile. Read. Write. Buy. Sell. Learn. Ask. Forgive. Let go. Sometimes, you do not need any long-term goal. You do not need to always see the big picture. All you need is know what to do next. Keep your faith that things will manifest itself in due time. Time does wonders when you don't push it. Wait and wait patiently. Believe that all is well. All is going according to His plan. Trust that there is a big picture. Trust that life is unfolding as it should.

Remember that life itself is so resilient that nothing can ruin it. Life has a way of bouncing back and regaining its balance. It is up to you to turn your life around the way it suits you best.
