Being high-functioning and heavy hearted, as I am, can be exhausting, often leaving people wondering whether they are on the right track or only doing things for the sake of it.

Many experience this scenario on a daily basis, consciously and subconsciously to the same extent.

But how does a person overcome that feeling of being lost?

The busy pace of modern living can result in an addiction to responsibilities, upsetting the work-life balance.

I often feel I could do to hire an assistant whose only job would be to remove negative thoughts from my head, so allowing me to get on with what matters most. Which is why we should try to put behind us the things that weigh us down and focus only on those that elevate us.

One of the most potent ways of discovering yourself and what you love, prefer, and enjoy is to try out new things; determining your path and making life worth living can be a long journey.

It is impossible to sustain a perfect mental condition all of the time. Everyone has mood swings, but many people do not always recognize the elixir of their lives — those things that keep them happy and feeling alive regardless of the circumstances surrounding them. Simply put, search for your passion.

Knowing how it feels to achieve ambitions and desires can often only be likened to a fantasy experience, far removed from reality.

But one of the most potent ways of discovering yourself and what you love, prefer, and enjoy is to try out new things; determining your path and making life worth living can be a long journey.

The collective cost of not being aware of needs and likes decreases the quality and meaning of life, leaving individuals in a perpetual state of doubt, uncertainty, anxiety, and loss.

Feel free to change your mind and even those things you love the most; everything is replaceable.
