Every now and then ppl end up feeling lost and confused at some point in their lives.
Along with it all, I think it further dashes out the peace of mind they once had.
Is it perhaps due to the fact that they keep on rejecting to really accept their own selves, along with all the shortcomings they may have?
What makes some of us feel so? Or What makes You feel that way and how do u rectify it (other than reading the Quraan and praying)?
Is it that ppl don’t have faith in their capacities, and they don’t believe their selves? How 'com?
Adios!

as time passes your perspective on life changes as well as how you fit into it and that creates the lost and confused sort of feeling.
I dont think there is much to do with image of self or confidence in one self, but the realization that you were okay earlier but as your perspective on life have changed maybe you are not as well situated as you were.
The question then becomes do you try to make yourself in synch with your new view of life or do you stay in your old ways and just knowing yet avoiding what u have to do.
Yaar I would say that it has something to do with self image and confidence. When we were young (remember ?? :) ) you had nothing to tie you down, you felt that the whole world was your oyster and that anything was possible.. I'm sure that everyone at some time in their 'younger' years had a dream of being an Astronout/pilot/fireman/Evil Kenivel.. etc and there were times when you could almost 'see' yourself in this dream job of yours. At that age reality was something you hadn't heard of and no matter what people said you still held on to that dream.. that in itself gives one a sense of purpose and direction. But even if you had Many dreams and many things you wanted to be.. it was not so much important as to what you wanted to be but more important that you felt you could be anything you wanted.. no boundaries.. no limits and no chains to hold you down.
I agree that as you grow older your perspective on life changes. But the reason for feeling 'lost & confused' is possibly due to one realising that there are things to tie you down family/wife/kids/mortage/job).. etc and all of a sudden all those dreams you once had and the clear directions you could see, are now full of hurdles and pot-holes.
I think that it is the realisation that not Everything is possible and the world is not a place where everyone lives happiliy ever after, which is the root of this feeling of being lost and confused.
ok so what did you want to be when you were a kid ? ;)
Hmm…what I wanno’d be while being a kid back in them good happily ever after days?
