If you think of the word lost,it could have lots of meanings. One could be lost in their thoughts, sense of direction, reality,  and all sorts of loss of bearing. However the being lost from yourself could be the greatest of all losses. Because it doesn’t matter who you are but who you believe yourself to be. You could be the smartest person in the world but if you think you are an imbecile,then thats exactly what you are. The mind is the strongest most guiding factor in who we ultimately become. To be a master of your own destiny requires a strong mind, one that never for a moment lets the circumstances change how you think about yourself. I for example am not the smartest person in the world but I know for sure that if you ask me how I got here and why I am typing this at  3 am in the morning, I would tell you that I have control of my mind, but do I? Well,you might say its debatable if you know me or you are not familiar with me enough to decide, but for me I KNOW I do. I realise that the grandiosity of that statement might be a turn off for some but its just the plain truth. I can eat shit out of a toilet and not even heave and at the same moment I have this believe in my head that I can’t let a snake in my sight…it’s all in the mind and i know if i was to fall in a ditch full of snakes, I would still come out alive. What am I saying here? I am simply stating  that to be who you wanna be is a very conflicting ideal,because you can’t always be who you are but also u can’t lose yourself otherwise you will never recognise who you were to begin with. All you can do is try is to be you, and hope others recognise it as not an overblown ego but an expression of individuality that makes us all unique. This world has got lots of distractions that make us stray from the real persons that we were born to be. We have become ‘actors’ in a movie that the director never says cut and we end up overplaying our roles and therefore losing ourselves in those roles. If you doubt that you are an actor in the movie of life then listen to yourself the next time you talk to your boss or your parent or your spouse. That’s not you. And thats OK because thats what life has taught us and you gotta do what you gotta do to stay in the game. However when you are alone sitting in the dark or on a sleepless night who are you to yourself? Are you lost to yourself?
