“It’s the first time in my life I can feel my direction,” told me my wife, some days ago. My first thought was that I’ve always known my direction, and that gave me the illusion that my dreams would come true easier.

Do you know your direction?

Many friends of mine struggled for years. «I don’t know what I’m good at!» They were mostly lost, but they all had a certainty: they didn’t want the direction they had alreadytaken, being that a hated job, a faculty which had lost its appeal, a dream appearing impossible to reach.

Everything that doesn’t match our inner self feels wrong. By performing incompatible activities continuously, we see ourselves as twisted by events, enslaved, our potential frustrated, our creativity vanishing, our time wasted.

No matter what, the best thing you can do if you feel lost is to use all your (free) time to discover your direction. Avoid to victimize yourself, as it’s the contrary of taking action. I’ve seen too many people complaining every day for years, then leaving the office and do nothing about those complaints.
