A complex story is a more epic story.
When you feel like youre about to fall into this pit, here are some things to consider.
Take a deep breath and appreciate where you are.

You might spot a deer.
You might see a rare mushroom that you wouldnt have spotted if you havent been lost.
What Im saying is, not all things are as bad as they look.

Everything that happens in life can be beautiful if you know where to look.
A complex story is a more epic story.
Wouldnt it be nice to sit on your rocking chair someday and think of what your life has been?
If it had been a smooth and steady ride for you, would you enjoy looking back at it?
Maybe its just a sign for you to take a step back and relax.
Really consider if youre truly lost.
Maybe where you are is not a place to get lost but a place to unwind.
Its not a race.
We have to stop comparing our lives with someone elses.
We cannot compare the speed between a swimmer and runner.
It just isnt fair.
All of us run a different marathon and who finishes first is immaterial.
Take this time to reflect.
The woods seem like a dangerous place and it might not appear inviting for some people.
If you find yourself lost in it, youll probably find yourself alone.
Now is the time to see yourself in your simplest and purest form.
Now is the time to judge yourself objectively since no one is around to do it for you.
Now is the time to ask yourself these questions: Is this my authentic self?
Is this the best version of myself?
Give yourself some credit.
Not a lot of people have the guts to get lost.
Did you get scratched by the tree branches?
Did you trip on a surface tree root?
Did you slip in the mud?
Wear your wounds and bruises like badges of honor.
Its purpose is to bind papers together.
you’re free to also use it to poke a paper if youre having problem with your stapler.
Thieves sometimes use it to pick a lock.
Once, I used it as a cable clip.
That applies for you as well.
Think of it as a chance, not a hindrance.
Getting lost is an opportunity.
If there are no directions, you might go anywhere you want.
Take this chance to try new things, meet new people, discover things that life has to offer.
What have you got to lose?
