You are not lost. Your path is different for a reason. It was uniquely designed for you; all the twists and turns, all the ups and downs, all the bumps and potholes have a purpose.
Yes a straighter, smoother path would have been ideal, but what good is a straight path that leads to someone else’s dream, that builds little if any character, that inspires everyone except you.
Remember that just because your path is different, doesn’t mean you are lost. The only way for you to be lost is when you abandon your path to pursue what everyone else is pursuing.
If your path looks different, then that’s a good indication that you are on the right track.
