An Unexpected Present...
Often in life, we are on a path towards a goal, step by step we are making progress and seemingly out of nowhere – Boom! Something unexpected happens. This surprise often
creates a radical (and sometimes uncomfortable) shift in our circumstances.
Suddenly, we are forced to change our plans as well as Our Perception of what we thought our path was. That one can be tricky!
If we are able to keep a positive mindset - often we discover that the shift brings us to a place of strength that we never imagined or it opens an amazing opportunity.
Ie: an unexpected present!
The key is to stand tall in the face of change, keep an open mind and remember to count your blessings, not your problems. It's important to learn to see the reality of what Is as opposed to getting stuck in what things are supposed to be.
As Lennon said…. “Life is What Happens While You’re Busy Making Other Plans…”
So?
Is real life in the direction we were going? Or is it the new road that has appeared?
Oftentimes, it's Both!
Either way it's what you are living day to day that counts.
There is no right or wrong. Sometimes life just forces us to take a different path towards our destination. And don't let that change stop you from living!
The only thing that we can do for sure is be flexible and roll with it.
"Life's a journey, not a destination"
Thank You to Steven Tyler for singing it! ('Amazing')
(note: this quote is originally attributed to R.W. Emerson)
It's a good perspective.
And at the end of the day, the surest thing we can rely on is not what's behind us or in front of us but what lies within us.
As Emerson also said,
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
(that one is one of My Favs!)
So go ahead, Make your plans! Be Fabulous! But don't be surprised if Life has something even better in store for you ;)
Keep me posted on your adventures!
Love, Light and Blessings on your Journey,
