What’s Wrong with Just Being Lost Once in a While?
6 
We are told from an early age by parents, teachers, careers advisors and employers that we must have a direction, we must know where we are going as soon as is humanly possible, if not before, and if you don’t know then you will soon begin to feel the fear. You WILL end up on skid row with the other bums who spent too long enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing and couldn’t find their way back. One of their biggest mistakes no doubt was not picking up a self-help book. Instead of lying in the gutter making a roof over their heads from empty MacDonald’s cartons they could be dynamic business leaders or Chief Executive Officers of Macdonalds by now, oh the humanity.
The sweetness of doing nothing isn’t something you will usually hear from the advice guru unless it’s, “take the time to figure out your next step but don’t spend too much time smelling the roses because I have a new book coming out soon called Getting Motivated With Tough Love, Move It Lard Ass and you will want to buy this one. This one will definitely make you rich, happy, fulfilled, exhilarated, a successful boss, married to the perfect partner, slimmer and sexually irresistible to all who cross your path. You will awake each morning and smile, and your family will smile back at you, even your pets will smile back at you as you walk into the garden, shake that money tree and live each day under sun filled, rain free skies, almost vomiting up the happiness and joy that I have taught you how to attain simply by reading my book. Only $14.99 including VAT. BUY IT NOW. CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO?”
To those who are lost and unmotivated, I say give yourself a break and enjoy it, relish it, because soon enough you will look back and see this as the long lost golden age of freedom. Remember that time when you were lost and aimless and had plenty of time to do whatever you wanted to? What did you do with it? Spent it reading motivational self-help books?
Well, at least you made someone happy.
Chi ching.
