Have you ever wandered around Target, feeling lost, looking at everything and nothing at the same time, only to suddenly find the very thing you’ve been searching for all along? It’s there, all because someone didn’t put it back where it belonged. Life can be like that too. Sometimes, feeling lost or needing a change—whether it’s a new job, a new career, a new hairstyle, or moving to a new home or city—signals that something needs to change.
But what if we looked at it differently? What if those feelings of being lost, like wandering through Target, are actually moments of growth and change that you haven’t yet recognized? Life can feel chaotic and out of place during these times. However, this is often when we grow the most. By reflecting deeply on the changes within us, not necessarily good or bad, we might realize we’re on the brink of something new and unfamiliar—much like visiting a Target in a different city. It won’t be identical to what you know, but it will have familiar elements and new surprises, which might turn out to be even better.
Take a moment to step back and note a few changes in yourself over the past few months. They don’t need to be many.
Perhaps:
- Your goals have shifted
- You’ve stopped drinking
- You’re building a closer relationship with God
After jotting them down, let them sit for a day or so and reflect on them. You might just discover what you’ve been searching for all along.
Come back and let us know what you discovered about yourself. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences.
