A little while ago, we saw the ending to a great spiritual TV show called "Lost." If you haven't seen the show, it was about the adventures and mysteries of the survivors of a plane crash on a tiny remotes island. The island became their universe, and each week we would tune in to see how the survivors survived old problems and handled new ones. The island created constantly changing environments that expertly balanced the fine line of believable and the absurd.

In the last episode of the show, we would come to find out that none of the survivors actually survived the plane crash that started the show. They had all died. Unknown to them, their souls had created an environment in which each character could accomplish one goal: To find their soul mate, and begin the next phase of the evolution of their soul starting in ultimate happiness.

To me, the show doesn't seem so different than this life, and the goals and challenges, we are all born with. We may define it differently, but we all want to have ultimate happiness. Some will say that answer lies within a soul mate; others will say it exists within a successful career. Whatever you believe today, I promise you just learning the definition of "ultimate happiness" is as important, and unknown to you today, as the path you choose to get there.

If I had to guess, about 60% of all the requests for spiritual guidance, advice, and counseling start with words similar in meaning to:

"I'm lost."

"I'm so lost,"

"I'm totally lost,"

"I couldn't be any more lost."

I always wonder how someone could feel lost if they stumbled upon Free-Spiritual-Guidance.com, or they are writing to me. Feeling lost is not the same as being lost. Maybe you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

If you are a survivor of a plane crash on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere, you will immediately realize there are things you are going to have to do to survive. If you want to eat, you will have to find a way to catch and hunt food. If you want protection from the weather, you will have to find a way to build a shelter. The important observation is that you have to do something, by investing energy, to create the future you want to have.

In this existence, this one of the most overlooked executions to achieving anything and becoming less "lost." As advanced as we are as a people, it's the question "What do I do?" that seems to paralyze our efforts of evolution. The Universe doesn't care what you do, just that you do something. It needs you to invest energy to create your future. I know it doesn't sound right. You may think it is important to do the right thing, whatever that is.

Let's go back to being on an island and you have to find a way to fish to survive. You could feel lost because you don't know how to fish without any tools from the civilized world. Is that enough to stop you?

You can try to make a spear, you can try to trap fish in ponds when the tides go out, and you can see if there are any shellfish within reach. While you may not be successful on your first try, investing energy creates new paths of opportunity. The universe sees what you are trying to do and converts your investment of energy into choices. Failure brings experience and education. As you evolve your fishing skills, you will eventually create a future in which you can sustain yourself by fishing. What does not investing energy create?

Let's say the only thing a temptation wants to accomplish is keeping you from evolving. Not investing energy is a temptation known as sloth. It means to do nothing. "You'll never catch a fish, so don't even try." As easy as it is to see in this example, the same energy of doing nothing so powerful in today's world. It may not be the most powerful temptation, but it may be the most frequently used temptation.

I wish to underscore my point that you don't have to know what to do, to achieve it. The path of doing is the path that harnesses the power of the universe. You and the universe will achieve your goal if keep investing energy. You can catch fish, even if you don't know how to today. But don't just take my word or it, as Buddha would say, look for the clues the universe leaves you in your version of the environment you created. Here is an example of that spiritual wisdom from a music band called Van Halen:

Don't wanna wait 'till tomorrow. Why put it off another day?

One by one, little problems. Build up, and stand in our way. Oh

One step ahead, one step behind it. Now ya gotta run to get even.

Make future plans I'll dream about yesterday, hey!

Come on turn, turn this thing around

(Right now) Hey! It's your tomorrow.

(Right now) Come on, it's everything.

(Right now) Catch your magic moment.

Do it right here and now, It means everything.

As I said at the beginning, most people come here because they are lost. I contend that being lost is good and exactly where you are supposed to be. However, it should not be a feeling that stays with you. It is nothing more than a step on a large stairwell to your destiny.

You're Supposed to be "Lost,"...a little.

If you are not going through life with occasional feelings of being "lost," you are not properly pursuing your destiny. Never stop moving forward, even when you're not sure where you are going. Read on to learn why.

Here is one of my spiritual tarot cards on the subject. Time is a human concept. It is the X-factor of the evolution of our souls, and you will learn to understand its power as you accumulate less of it.

Love and light,
