A) You're lost and moving in all directions, feeling and trying to find the right way out for you.. You find yourself constantly making U-turns, and after a few ventured routes, you find yourself back at Square 1.
OR
B) You're confident of where you're headed and you take big strides in that direction. After some distance however, you start to doubt whether this is the right route after all. In spite of your doubts, you continue walking in the same direction because you're already too deep in, and changing routes will immediately render your previous distance covered futile.
It was recently conveyed to me that most people at the age of 25-30 are still figuring out their paths in life. Take people of my age for example. At 26, most females would have had a few years of working experience (assuming they start work at 21). And most guys would have worked for only 1 to 2 years, after 2 years of toil and sweat in national service.
So if you are feeling lost at this stage (aka quarter-life crisis), it's perfectly alright! In fact, you should be more daring and try out more things.
There's not a high chance that you already know what you will be doing for the rest of your career and life, so I say...
Go out and experience every thing that you have always thought of and wanted to!
Ignore the naysayers and pessimists; these people only have bad things to say because they are people with limited mindsets and they cannot embrace people who do better than them.
It's better to have ventured and lost, than not to have ventured at all.
