What Is The Difference Between Saying You’re A “Wanderer” Vs. “Lost”?
To Wander does not mean to be lost. The word “lost” and all that is attached to it puts negative energy out into the Universe.
To Wander means freedom – it’s the journey, not the destination. To be lost means you have absolutely no idea where you are or where you are going.
To Wander means there is a strong awareness of what is around you. To be lost suggests you’re completely in the dark. That there is no beauty or no signposts around you. Only darkness and anxiety.
To Wander means you fully trust the outcome. To be lost suggests you are stuck where you are, you aren’t putting faith that there will be an outcome.
To Wander means to still have an intention, a goal or a vision. To be lost means there is no intention. You are not in control at all. You are a victim to your own circumstances.
To Wander means you will encounter people along your journey who are there to guide you. To be lost means there are no people around you who are there to help you.
To Wander means to be open to possibility and beauty. To be lost means you are looking outward in, rather than inward out.
To Wander means you know you’ll lead yourself somewhere positive and bright. To be lost means you are stuck.
To Wander means to create while you move; letting go. To be lost means you have let go of your creativity.
To Wander allows you to find other great Wanderers, such as Walt Whitman, Jesus, Buddha, Rumi, Jack Kerouac, Chris McCandless (‘Into The Wild’) and so on. To be lost does not set yourself up to want to model yourself around other ‘lost’ people. Unless it’s the T.V. show.
To Wander gives you an opportunity to express yourself creatively. How else would Jack Kerouac have written ‘On The Road’ or Pablo Coelho, ‘The Alchemist.’ Wandering gives your creativity an outlet to shine...even if you don’t see it at the moment.
