In my opinion, stumbling towards a desired destination is far better than refusing to move for fear of stumbling onto the wrong path.
Because as I stumble, I can use my momentum and gained knowledge to chart a better course. Also, with the right perspective, it can be fun getting lost.

I’m having a lot of fun getting lost at the moment. I can’t even remember where I was going when I started off.

Stasis is, well, evil. What’s that iold line – If you’re waitin’ on me you’re backin’ up? Best to keep moving.

What a glorious affirmation. We insist on being found even while we are lost. We want Amazing Grace, e.g., to be a shorter song….
We can take it further and affirm an eternity of lostness, a fate of lostness. Father, father…why have you forsaken me? Brilliant.
Thank you all.

It can be really fun to go on and find all kinds of things as you wander. As long as you’re moving, you’re living, as far as I’m concerned.

That’s true, sometimes you have to take a leap in the unknown.

Ahhh, but the lesson that MUST be included here is having enough self-awareness to analyze what you’re doing while moving forward. Without the insight gained that way, one only reinforces bad habits instead of making changes while advancing. Then they become one of the screaming masses, complaining that the world doesn’t work exactly as they think it should. 😉

Agreed! Besides, U-turns are allowed, and you can’t make a U-turn unless you’ve started moving.

No such thing as a traveler who doesn’t get lost, that’s a commuter. Those fixated on arriving have no journey. Finding without expecting are where the greatest joys lie.

That exactly describes my time living in Thailand. Had no reason to go there and a huge career risk. And you know what? I wouldn’t change a damn thing.

I love the summary of it all. The fun to get lost! Reading this, I definitely agree, although in my daily life I often am a bundle of anxiety (which makes reading it that way much more fun 😉 ).

The anxiety can be tricky; I get tempted to mess with it when I should be more gentle with it.

Funny how many wrong turns, turn out to be right turns. Great insights, thank you.

I really liked the use of the verb “stumbling”. You could have used others but “stumbling” is more imaginative and encourages the reader to think more deeply about what you have written. Brilliant!

Thanks! Yes, it also is a little more forgiving in my opinion–we needn’t always be so harsh about measuring progress.
