Secret #2 Trust That You Are Never Lost (from Stephen Shapiro’s Goal-Free Living)





Thoughts from Secret #2 (things I underlined):

  • With the right mindset, you are never lost. If you believe that the path you are on is the right one, then it is.
  • Indecision is a no man’s land with no direction and no progress. By consistently and confidently committing to a decision at the crossroads, you are never lost, because you will always have the power to change direction.
  • In life there are no right or wrong decisions. There are only decisions.
  • There is a tendency to look back and think about having made the wrong decisions. Yet we all make the right decision given the information we have at the time, and whatever the outcome, that is the right decision.
  • Every detour is a new experience.
  • Remember that no matter what path you are on, you are on the right path. If you are enjoying it and playing it full out, then it’s the right thing to do.


This chapter focuses on letting go of right/wrong, good/bad, thoughts about decisions you need to make or decisions you have made.

There are no wrong/bad decisions, they are just decisions and you can change your mind.

Indecision is counterproductive and stalling for time. If you go ahead and make a decision you can move on. If you don’t like the outcome, you can change. Nothing is written in stone.

So relax, move on, learn, enjoy, experience, don’t worry, find adventure everywhere you go, change directions if you want, have fun wherever you find yourself.

I think that’s a great attitude to have, don’t you?
