Poetry: The directionalness of directionlessness does lead us somewhere

Finding true direction is about managing your way,
in such a way that you still listen to life's guidance.
Correction of all of your mistakes, those all made today,
allows today, not to be lost, to any sinking subsidence.
Our direction is always more important than our pace,
and our pace should not ever be a part of our purpose.
The direction of our change is partly in its place,
as long as we stay in our place, still within life's circus.
True direction is never met unless we set it without fail,
holding onto anything else creates a lack of purpose, inhaled.
Directive purpose gives renewed life to all of our travails,
as long as we tail along within our purpose's worthiness, exhaled.
Lack of time has nothing to do with following direction.
Directions are always available; time only misdirects.
You can find a way without knowing where you're going,
as long as you are showing purpose in your unknowing.
The start of a journey begins with a directed first prepped step,
the rest follows as long as we keep to our purpose, with pep.
Directions are found from finding what's profound, not sidestepped,
as life's seeming directionlessness then turns all around, now in step.

Are you instep with life, or is your donkey being left bereft.

the first prepped step
seems sometimes so daunting
for once started
can the journey end?

Even not started, has the journey really also begun too?
Does it begin with, or without us, or do we need to kickstart its start?
We seem to be pushed into life, at our beginning of life, but thereafter, we soon have a choice as to which direction we will go in.
When does life become daunting?
Perhaps, when we start to worry about whether our choice is right, or not, and so we fear the next choice, or the next step on our paths, and just want to retreat into our den again.
Trust seems to be a factor in removing some of the dauntingness of our journey, and developing love along the way for the ultimate creator of all paths, God, helps us to move along more optimally too.

Yes. not too many of us have purposes, or know why we are here, or what we are here to do.
Only a few seem to come already geared up for, and focussed on their journey.
I have been searching for my purpose and point of being here for a long time now, without really getting anywhere in my finding it, and so my life has been one of meandering between pointless points of pointlessness too, with the occasional dotted point appearing only very rarely for me too.

@innertalks I think most fall in that category especially those who work for others for a living. They are forever taking orders from others.
The ones who make independent living seem to be more focused.
As for myself, I tend to look for comfort zones but more often react to circumstances.

@Shiva49 I did try many things when I was younger, but none of them at the time met my standards for my pursuing them in a focused way.
I was never driven by anything, inwardly, that fired me up outwardly, but more expected that thing to drive me from outwardly, to fire me up inwardly. Nothing ever did.
We need to find our inner fire, not try to just create fires in our outer world first, where we end up just gathering useless material together, and not getting anything much from the burning.
