A lot of people I know now suffer from deep confusion. They are sometimes so confused that they have no clue what they are confused about. In most cases the source of confusion is the lack of direction in life. Life seems to be a big blur.
One thing I have observed with people who suffer deep confusion is a lack of focus in living their life. Their life is not centered. They are filled with mixed up and even contradicting ideas which they try to build their life on.
I think we can learn a little bit of life in photography. In taking pictures, if you don’t calibrate and focus the center properly the whole picture will be blurred. No amount of shots will make the picture clear until the center is focused.
I think most of our confusion comes from not seeing a clear picture of who we are and what our life suppose to be. Most of us take random shots in life hoping to “to get the picture.”
How can we find our focus or center?
To find our deep center is to find a deep Person. Jesus. He is supposed to be the center of our life. If our center is other than Jesus, we are un-centered, unfocused, blurred. We must keep our eyes focused on Jesus, for He is the only one who can bring back the focus in our lives.
Pope John Paul II said that Jesus reveals humanity to himself. Jesus is the Logos. He is the image of the living God. He is the image that we are supposed to look like.
God made man in His image and likeness.
To focus our life on Jesus is to focus our life, period! If we want to see ourselves and our life more clearly we must start making Jesus the center of our very life. Our lives should revolve in doing His will and not our personal plans. We must recalibrate our lives if we want to have a clear vision of it. Everyday we must commit ourselves in asking God to reveal his will and ask for the grace to do it. We need to discern everyday what God’s will is for us.
Only Jesus can show us the “Big Picture” in life we are all looking for.
