0:00
have you ever felt like you've lost
0:01
yourself like you're standing in your
0:03
own life but something's missing not
0:06
just motivation not just direction but
0:08
connection purpose meaning roomie once
0:11
wrote "Don't grieve anything you lose
0:14
comes around in another form." But when
0:17
you feel lost when nothing feels real or
0:19
right or enough how do you trust that in
0:22
this video we're not offering surface
0:24
level advice we're diving into the ache
0:27
the confusion the silent spiritual
0:29
exhaustion that no one sees because
0:31
maybe feeling lost isn't the beginning
0:34
of the end maybe it's the beginning of
0:36
remembering who you really are one the
0:38
feeling of being lost let's tell the
0:40
truth feeling lost isn't just about not
0:43
knowing what to do next it's deeper than
0:45
that it's the feeling of waking up and
0:47
wondering how your life became so
0:49
unfamiliar it's walking through your day
0:51
on autopilot disconnected from your joy
0:54
your body your soul it's being
0:56
surrounded by people and still feeling
0:58
completely alone and what makes it worse
1:00
is that the world doesn't slow down just
1:02
because you're unraveling you still have
1:04
to go to work answer messages smile in
1:07
photos while inside something is
1:09
silently crumbling you try to fix it
1:11
with productivity with another book
1:13
another quote another routine but
1:16
nothing lands nothing lasts that's
1:18
because the kind of lost we're talking
1:20
about isn't solved by doing more it's
1:23
something existential something
1:24
spiritual roomie lived 800 years ago but
1:28
he understood this feeling intimately
1:30
because feeling lost isn't the opposite
1:32
of being found it's a signal a sacred
1:35
ache a whisper from the soul that says
1:37
"The life you've built doesn't fit who
1:40
you've become." Why Roomie still speaks
1:42
to our pain so why does Roomie still
1:44
speak to our pain 800 years later
1:47
because he didn't speak in rules he
1:49
spoke in metaphors music and emotion he
1:51
didn't tell people what to do he
1:53
reminded them who they were roomie wrote
1:55
for the heart not the ego and when
1:57
you're lost that's what you need most
2:00
you don't need another 10-step plan you
2:02
need someone to sit beside you in the
2:04
dark and say "You're not broken you're
2:07
becoming." Roomie's poetry often speaks
2:10
of longing emptiness the ache of
2:12
separation from something greater and
2:14
that's exactly what feeling lost feels
2:16
like a kind of exile but in his words
2:18
exile wasn't punishment it was
2:20
invitation a chance to return to
2:22
yourself in a deeper more honest way he
2:24
once said "Try not to resist the changes
2:27
that come your way instead let life live
2:30
through you." That doesn't mean giving
2:33
up it means surrendering not in defeat
2:35
but in trust trust that even the ache
2:38
has meaning that even confusion can be
2:40
sacred because the soul has its own
2:42
language and sometimes getting lost is
2:44
how it starts speaking again three the
2:47
hidden wisdom in emptiness most people
2:49
fear emptiness they see it as failure as
2:52
proof that something's gone wrong but
2:54
Roomie saw it differently he once wrote
2:56
"Be like a tree and let the dead leaves
2:59
drop." In other words don't panic when
3:01
things fall apart don't rush to fill the
3:04
silence don't force clarity let what's
3:06
dying die sometimes the lostness is
3:09
pruning the soul shedding what no longer
3:11
fits beliefs identities dreams
3:14
relationships that process feels
3:16
terrifying because we've been taught to
3:17
define ourselves by what we have what we
3:20
do who we're with but what if all of
3:22
that is just surface what if the
3:24
emptiness isn't a void but a clearing a
3:26
sacred pause where the next version of
3:28
you begins to take shape not through
3:31
force but through grace roomie reminds
3:34
us "Don't get lost in your pain know
3:37
that one day your pain will become your
3:40
cure you don't need to fix this moment
3:43
you just need to feel it fully without
3:45
judgment without shame the healing
3:47
begins when you stop trying to outrun
3:49
the quiet for Roomy's path back to the
3:51
soul so how do you return to yourself
3:54
when you don't even know who that is
3:55
anymore roomie didn't give instructions
3:58
he gave metaphors and the most powerful
4:00
one is this the wound is the place where
4:03
the light enters you that's where we
4:05
start not by pretending we're okay but
4:08
by allowing the wound to breathe room's
4:10
path was not about perfection it was
4:12
about devotion to truth to stillness to
4:15
beauty to God whatever name you give
4:18
that mystery he would dance he would
4:20
weep he would wander and through all of
4:23
it he listened listen for the voice
4:25
beneath the noise the whisper that only
4:27
comes when we stop performing your
4:30
return doesn't have to be dramatic it
4:32
doesn't have to be a life overhaul it
4:34
can begin with a single breath with
4:36
closing your eyes and asking "What am I
4:38
pretending not to know?" It can begin
4:41
with sitting under the stars and
4:43
remembering you are stardust it can
4:45
begin by letting yourself cry not
4:48
because you're weak but because you're
4:50
finally allowing yourself to feel you
4:52
are not lost you are being redirected
4:55
you are not broken you are being
4:57
rearranged you are not failing you are
4:59
being softened into something deeper
5:01
than you've ever known five finding your
5:03
way without a map and maybe just maybe
5:06
you don't need a map maybe the path
5:08
isn't found it's made made by walking
5:11
made by trusting made by falling and
5:13
rising and listening again roomie
5:15
reminds us that the path is always
5:16
unfolding beneath your feet even when
5:19
you can't see it he wrote "As you start
5:21
to walk on the way the way
5:24
appears." That means you don't need to
5:26
figure everything out you don't need to
5:28
have a plan you just need to stay open
5:30
stay curious stay alive to your own
5:33
longing the soul knows it always has you
5:36
don't have to believe in anything
5:37
perfect just believe that it's okay to
5:39
be in process the next version of you is
5:42
not built in certainty it's built in
5:44
surrender let life shape you let silence
5:46
soften you let confusion be the space
5:49
where wisdom is born you are not lost
5:52
you are simply becoming someone you've
5:53
never been before now before finishing
5:56
if you've been feeling lost lately don't
5:58
rush to fix it sit with it let it speak
6:01
you don't have to pretend you're okay
6:03
you just have to be honest and that's
6:05
more powerful than any plan or
6:06
perfection maybe this moment isn't the
6:09
breakdown maybe it's the breakthrough
6:11
and if no one's told you lately you're
6:13
not behind you're not alone and you are
6:15
not too late you're exactly where you
6:17
need to be to become who you're meant to
6:20
be let the ache be your teacher let's
6:22
words be your anchor and let yourself
6:24
come home not to the life you had but to
6:28
the self you've never fully
