In today’s world, no one gets lost anymore. We type in our destination on our GPS and get step-by-step directions to where we want to go. Many of us also have a mental map, a personal GPS as it were, telling us where we want to go in our life. It’s great to have an idea of where you want to go and how to get there, but you can gain even more when you veer off your map. Something unexpected, a failure perhaps, pushes you off your map and becomes the catalyst the leads you to a more exciting, challenging life path.
Imagine if you never jumped off that path, the adventures you would miss. The missed joy of finding a new path. I’ve found, through a million mistakes, in life the best possibilities are often those that come when you wander. Embrace the opportunity to get lost, to turn back, or to turn in a new direction. Explore, try something new, and take chances.
So today I give myself the freedom to “get lost”. I will launch forward into the world with my own personal trajectory to experience the endless possibilities. I will close my eyes and jump all the while enjoying the free fall. Experience, Dream, Risk..Wend One's Way...
“You can only understand life backwards, but we must live it forwards.” ~Kierkegaard
