Everybody Gets Lost
You are not the only one lacking direction from time to time.
In the Torah (or Bible), the Jewish people wandered the desert for 40 years. When you take into literal account the relative size of the area of the world involved, that might seem like an awfully long time to be wandering around lost.
When you get metaphorical, however, this might seem a lot more familiar.
With very few exceptions (because let’s face it, there are ALWAYS exceptions), everyone spends some time “wandering the desert.” Why? Because as we evolve, change, and grow, the things we desire for our lives do so as well.
Thus, what you desired last year may be quite different from what you desire now. And, just to make it a little more complicated, you may know better what you don’t want over what you do. That, in particular, can be super-frustrating, in especial when friends, loved ones, and even acquaintances appear to get things done and accomplish things.
But you are not alone in this. Everybody spends at least some time “wandering the desert” because they don’t quite know what it is they desire from their life.
For some, this is a relatively short amount of time. For others, though, this is far more involved.
