The quote, “Not all those who wander are lost”, is part of a poem originally written by Bilbo, the main character from The Hobbit. Bilbo is describing Aragorn, the descendant of kings, and a king by birthright himself, who wanders unknown, unrecognized and unacknowledged, waiting for the right time to claim his throne;
“All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The tree that is old does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed will be blade that was broken
Crownless again shall be king.”
My two cents on the matter: The message here is clear – even though our purpose isn’t obvious and to others we seem adrift and without direction; it doesn’t mean we’re lost, or off track. Our lack of direction may very well be our deeper, more meaningful search or quest in this maze we call life. That's my two cents, keep the change.
