We're always trying to get somewhere, some goal, some destination, something just out of reach. Some people have some vague idea of what they want to get, and others don't, resulting in a permanent state of subconscious agitation, feeling like they 'want more' even when they can't put into exact words what 'more' they want...
Then there're those who say that they're not getting anywhere and, liable to despair, they would repeat, like a mantra of hopelessness, "I'm not getting anywhere...I'm not getting anywhere...I'm not getting anywhere...."
But, ask yourself this, WHERE is it that you're trying to get to? Far too often you would receive blank looks, thoughtful pauses, and a grudging, "...good question." If you don't even know where you're trying to get to, then how can you possibly get there? And if you don't know how to get there, then how can you know what you must do to get there? Thus, answering the "I don't know what to do" side of the question....
Inevitably without directions we're doomed to travel in a circle, aimlessly wondering first one way, then another, eventually realizing and puzzling over why the scenary isn't changing and why the same grounds are being covered, over and over and over again. Pick a direction, any direction, because you can't know if you're going in the wrong direction, even, unless you're GOING in a direction, and the first step must begin somewhere.
Yet, the saddest thing is most people have already taken the first step, which is realizing that they're not going where, and there they hesitate....
