Lost - not the show stupid...

As explained in the text- Deep Survival - when "becoming lost", true survivors come to terms with where they are at the moment of realization that they are not where they believe they 'should' be, and become an active player in their current environment. They must not say I am lost, but say that I am here, now. They must make the best of a given situation and establish a short term goal (find water, build shelter, backtrack, etc).

The majority of us who don't go into a defined profession out of college have our moments of post-grad occupational confusion and frustration. I'm coming to terms with my short and long term goals and am at a point of reevaluation. Here I am. I made it to a destination of my choice- San Francisco. The only requirement I had for my future following college was that I wanted to be close to the ocean (where I can surf). Landing here I not only have an expanse of outdoor and urban access that offers some of the best ocean, mountain, art, music, and spiritual opportunities in the world, but I have found a community of eclectic and energetic souls who are also challenging themselves and the world around them with. I can feel the energy, and although I’m not sure what my purpose is, I need to continuously evolve to become the master of my current environment.
