Directional awareness

What gives you direction in life?

I really don’t have an answer for this.

I have plotted courses, had goals, made plans, made progress…. And every single time, i find myself miles and miles from what my planned destination was. And oddly enough, I seem to be somehow better off for it, even though the initial sense of failure and disappointment is painful.

My values guide my actions, of course, but at this point, I’m just riding the waves to see where i end up next, and what kinds of people I’ll meet on the way. I don’t have a “direction” in my life, per se, and that is ok. Having or trying to have a direction hasn’t worked so well thus far, so we’re doing things a little differently…
