3 Uncomfortable Feelings That Means You're On The Right Path

The tears and the fears don't always mean something is wrong

1. Feeling Completely Lost in Life

It’s easy to feel a lot like a failure when you're feeling lost in life.

I’ve felt completely lost before. I wasn’t sure whether to turn left or right. I didn’t know where I was going and what it is I wanted to do when I got there.

I taught I had failed in life.

I looked for the nearest cave away from the lions and the wolves and I stayed there, hoping that someone would come and save me. While I waited, I was depressed. I cried all the time, asking how I got there.

Everybody was doing something tangible with their lives and there I was in hiding, aware of the fact that I was completely lost, all alone and surrounded by danger.

But now that I feel safe, I can look back on those times and realize that I had to be lost to find myself. I had to be lost to ask all those important life questions like “Who am I and what am I even doing here?”

The moment I started asking those questions was the moment I started finding out who I really was, what I was here to do, and where I was headed.

If I hadn't gotten lost, I wouldn't have started looking at myself and my life from a new perspective.

When you're lost, you look closely at everything and you begin to see things you couldn't see before. You start to see things a little differently.

I started thinking outside of the box to figure out how I would make it past the dangers that were out there. I looked for all the opportunities I could take to get back home.

And from that, I learned that being lost isn’t synonymous with failing. When you’re lost, it’s an opportunity to pave a way for yourself.

If I hadn’t gotten lost, I wouldn’t have started looking at myself and my life from a new perspective.

2. Realizing That No One is Coming to Save You

The day I came to the realization that no one was coming to save me was one of the scariest days of my life. It was uncomfortable because it placed so much pressure on me to take responsibility for my life.

No one was coming to save me. It was me, or me, or…. me.

I realized I had wasted so much time sitting around waiting for a savior when I could have been saving myself.

I had my hope in the universe and therefore assumed the universe would send someone to find and save me. I was expecting someone who would come and make everything all right. I waited and waited for this saviour to come and wipe the tears off, but he never came.

No one came, and that’s when it hit me. No one was coming and if I didn’t save myself, I’d perish.

And so I did.

It was me who made it all okay when I took my life into my own hands. It was me who wiped my own tears off and gave me a hug. It was me caring and comforting myself.

From that, I learned we are the one’s responsible for our happiness. It’s no one else responsibility. The moment you take responsibility for your life is the exact moment you’ll start seeing real growth and changes taking place in your life.

I realized that I had wasted so much time sitting around waiting on a savior when I could have been saving myself.

3. Feeling All Alone in The World

When I found a way out and decided I needed to save myself, it felt like I was the only one in the world. There was not a single soul in sight. It was just my footprints in the sand.

It got very lonely.

Because it was just me walking the path, I had to think for myself. I had to make all the important decisions because there was no one there to help me make them.

Little did I know that being all alone was going to make me so strong and for that, I’m so thankful.

When there’s no one to help you, you learn how to things do on your own.

I became my own person, capable of standing on my own two feet. It was through being alone that I developed my sense of self.

It made me realize that the person I needed the most was me because it was me all along who would make it all okay.

The freedom of having to go where I wanted and not having to follow others helped me get very far in a short amount of time.

It helped me figure out who I was and what I wanted to do without pressure and distractions from others.

And most importantly, by being all alone, I learned to rely on the universe and my higher self to lead me where I was meant to go.

I found out my true identity and discovered my true life’s purpose all while I was alone.

It's not easy feeling like you're all alone, but being alone can also help you achieve so much in a short amount of time and it all works out when you can trust yourself.
