Okay… Now what?

You feel hopeless, lost and do not know how to live the rest of your life.

What now?

What is your next step?

Where do you go from here?

If you are depressed, down on your luck, if nothing is working out for you or everything is going to crap then you may not know the answer to those questions, but I encourage you to sit with them for a bit.

Now what?

You are where you are; your life is what it is.

It is not great, you have no idea of what to do next, and you might be hopeless about the future.

What will you do with these facts?

Many people try to avoid these realizations.

They try to entertain their mind enough to mask these thoughts, barely strafing off that painful realization, so they can avoid the responsibility of doing something about it.

The point, however, is that you feel what you feel and your life is what it is. Finding out where to go from here is taking responsibility, which is the first step to a better tomorrow.

In the end all that matters is what you do about it.
