Most people feel lost in some way, whether that is in their career, relationships, money, health, somewhere or some part of their life they feel a sense of disconnection from the whole. That is expressed with, \u201cI feel lost\u201d, \u201cI don\u2019t know who I am\u201d, or subtle forms, \u201cIts my partners fault\u201d, \u201cMy boss has it in for me,\u201d or \u201cEvery relationship that I have been in turns out this way.\u201d \u00a0This sense of feeling lost can only found in \u00a0one place, your thoughts. \u00a0You simply are never disconnected from the whole. \u00a0But you have to discover it for yourself. This is the part of life where no body is going to hold your hand and say it is going to be easy. This discovery is the same one Buddha, Jesus, and the mystic\u2019s of our time have each made. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Our society, educational systems, and corporations are built on the idea of problem solving. \u00a0We teach our young people to create problems, and solve them, so when things are going well in someone\u2019s life they will find a problem and solve it. \u00a0People are not very comfortable with going with things, but they are very comfortable with creating problems, drama, and chaos. \u00a0And yet all we hear is love is all there is, or be still and know. Wonderful ideas that have been passed down from tribe to tribe, but not so comforting when you feel lost. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This sense of being lost is found in the mind. \u00a0The mid is subtle in the way it pulls you in to a story and sometimes a very loud story about you and the other. But most of time the thoughts are feeding you ideas, concept, and beliefs you already know. \u00a0So how does one get past being lost. Here is a little hint. \u00a0You. You are the key to the whole darn thing. Not your partner, relationships, money, health, food, etc\u2026sure all these things outside of you are showing you what you believe but none of them are going to change till you decided to look at yourself. \u00a0Why should anything change for you outside in order for you to be happy? \u00a0 Once you see what you are looking at with new eyes, then what you see changes.<\/p>\n

But how can you see it when you are clouded with thoughts? Awareness is a key component. \u00a0I will talk about awareness in my next blog. \u00a0<\/p>\n
