The easiest thing to do on this Earth is to lose focus of your goals, slip up, and come up short. Maybe not even lose focus of your goals, but lose focus of what you want in life or even who you are as a person. It's bad enough to wake up one day and realize what you have become is not what you had hoped, but it's even worse when you are watching it happen to yourself in S...L...O...W... motion.
If you're reading this now because you may have lost your way, know that I have too. So has everyone you have ever known or will ever meet. Do not get down on yourself, try your best to do what you can to get back on track. Every journey to success is different for every individual. "Every peak has two valleys." You have to go through some downs before you can truly appreciate the ups in life.
Realize that you should only learn from mistakes and not disparage yourself because of them. Most of us (especially seniors) are feeling like we have to take this time to set ourselves up for the rest of our lives (mainly careerwise). Do not be afraid to try different things and don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Most of the people whose professional careers I admire personally did not get to this point in their careers by any conventional metods, and none of them did it without help. Trust in God, and be yourself! Keep your head up kid :)
A song that I'm really feeling right now: Justin Timberlake's "Losing My Way"
Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job
I make forty-some dollars a day
I used to be the man in my hometown
'til I started to lose my way
It all goes back to when I dropped out at school
Having fun, I was living the life
But now I got a problem with that little white rock
See I can put down the pipe
And...
And it's breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down
No more friend around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself...
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Now you gotta understand I was a family man
I would have gave anything for my own
But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch
So I ended up all alone
I remember where I was when I got my first buzz
See I thought I was living the life
And the craziest thing is I'll probably never know the color of my daughter's
eyes
And it is breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While me dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down
No more friend around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Oh my god please forgive me (father hear my pray)
'Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
If I could do it all again
Have just one more chance
To take all those wrongs and make them right
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way
