The Conundrum of finding Direction
<p>Direction</p><p>A word familiar to us all yet so confusing</p><p>How does one even find direction?&nbsp;</p><p>How does one find purpose ?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>As I stare at the grey wall in front of me I wonder just how the elders have made it so far&nbsp;</p><p>"Go to school" they said&nbsp;</p><p>"Get a job" they said&nbsp;</p><p>Painting the journey of life as if it was a series of checkpoints, a straight path with easy markers by the side of the road, but it's not.&nbsp;</p><p>It feels more like a convoluted path with no end in sight, up leads right and down goes sideways, all over the place with no conceivable map in sight.&nbsp;</p><p>"The beauty of living is in its chaos" some say, and that's true, I for one am not in a hurry to return back to the void but something has to give.&nbsp;</p><p>As we get older, life seems to get more and more complicated and yet so obvious at the same time, truly a conundrum.&nbsp;</p><p>"No one's going to save you" they remind you, urging you to find a way to make money and survive&nbsp;</p><p>Something has to give, I want to thrive not exist&nbsp;</p><p>Eat&nbsp;</p><p>Sleep&nbsp;</p><p>Work</p><p>There has to be more to it&nbsp;</p><p>No one ever tells you that hobbies are more important than we give them credit for. Something to do when you're idle or feeling lost, a foundation to build upon the tower of your skill.&nbsp;</p><p>"Make the most of things"&nbsp;</p><p>No one ever tells you exactly how to do so</p><p>Kudos to the ones that have found their way.&nbsp;</p><p>You get older and realize the elders are "winging it" just like you, difference is they've had more time to explore the labyrinth.&nbsp;</p><p>If there's one thing I've discovered, isolation in my tent isn't helping, so maybe it's time to clear out camp and head out further down the path. Maybe I'll discover something new, something worthwhile,&nbsp; all that matters is to keep going.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>
