I think I'm LOST

Depending on the situation you feel yourself trapped in, the outcome will always depend on you, your attitude and they way you react to it. If you have goals that you have set for yourself, then you need to keep those in focus, and treat any bad times or situations as a monor setback. You can always learn from these and become a better person for it. If you havent set goals for yourself, then maybe that is something you need to sit down and do... where do you want to be in 5 years time, 10 years and so on. What steps do you need to take to acheive those goals... Life is always a learning curve, and no matter if we are going through good or bad times we always need to learn from it. I agree with you that everything does happen for a reason, and it may be that lifes lessons are trying to teach you something that you dont yet realise. But set goals and stay focused on them and never be discouraged by any setbacks no matter how large they seem.
