A metaphor can easily explain the feeling of being lost.
Imagine being in a big city in a foreign country. You never been there You know where you are You know where to go So you move towards your goal.
Instead of going left, make an accidental right turn on the way. Of course, you won't notice it right away. When we feel like we should be where we should be, we recognize nothing that is familiar.
you are lost Worst part?
Unable to return to where you went because you don't know where you went wrong, you follow the correct path at the condemned intersection.
We are at a loss when we don't know what to do next. This is either because you are misdirected, as in this example, or because you don't know the way.

Never get lost again
First disclaimer. This takes time, energy and effort. Like something worth doing.
You can easily get directions using GPS. You can put your destiny in the hands of this technology. Everything else is a little more difficult.
Let's focus on the work in this example. Defining what you want to achieve is easy. Whether it's a promotion, a new experience, or making more money... we all have different motivations.
But have you ever thought how to get it? If "work more" is it a strategy? You need a solid strategy to move in the direction you want. What if the strategy is wrong? You are still moving, so you may go the opposite direction. But is it bad?
