A Challenge to the "Lost"

There are a lot of people out there that I would consider "Lost."  They don't know what they want and therefore, don't get what they want.  The tend to go through life like a rudderless ship, drifting listlessly.  

In many ways, they are just "there."  And they know it.  They know they are not reaching their true potential.  They know there is more to life than what it is currently is for them. In short, they are "lost."  But, they don't know what to do about it - or more importantly, lack the will to do what needs to be done to pull themselves out of this zombie-like state. 

I have felt this before and had times in my life like this.  You question yourself.  You question almost every aspect of life.  And if you are not careful, this can become your normal state and how you live if you do not break out from it.  It sucks.  No one wants this for themselves.  But they don't know what to do and they desperately, even if they don't show it, are looking for the answer.

Here is my answer based on my experience and it is a challenge to anyone who is stuck lost in this way:  Get a mission and get it now.  It doesn't have to be anything huge - just something that you will not stop until accomplished.  This mission, whatever it may be, is your everything for now.  It will be very hard to do this.  First, starting will be extremely tough as you will have to break out from the malaise of your life and it may require starting a new habit or doing things differently.  People hate change, but change is the only way.  Once you start, then you have to commit and force yourself to keep going until the mission is completed.  No excuses.  Every day that you get closer to your mission's goal, you get further away from being lost.  If you stop and go backward, you will default to the state you were in.  The secret is that the act of accomplishing your mission is the key to breaking out from being "lost."  

This happens because when you accomplish something, it fuels you.  When you see that can reach a goal or do something you previously thought was too hard or maybe not possible, it activates you and activates your soul in new way.  From there, you will find purpose and more missions and begin to become who you are possible of being.  

Don't believe me?  Try it.  Create a mission that you can accomplish in one week.  Don't make it super easy.  Make it one that will stretch you to accomplish and that is just outside your comfort zone.  Then pursue it with everything you have.  Don't give in even a little.  If you commit and go all in on this, you will see the power of this process and in one week, you begin to change for the better.  And once you've done it, don't stop.  Set your next mission and your next and so on.  Tom Ziglar once told me that the fastest way to success is to replace a bad habit with a good habit.  Imagine all of the good habits you will have created and all the bad habits you will leave behind if you continue to set missions for an entire year.  You will be in a completely different stratosphere.  This your challenge.  Get your mission and get going, NOW.
