“I Don’t Like How I Got Here, but I Like Where It’s Going!”
Have you ever driven down the road and reach your destination, but you can’t really remember the drive or how you got there? It’s almost like you were on ‘autopilot’ and you just ‘arrived’ at your location. Unfortunately for us, real life situations aren’t really that easy and if we’re healthy and present, there really isn’t such a thing as ‘autopilot’.
I heard this statement from a TV show recently saying, “I don’t like how I got here, but I like where it’s going.” That statement struck a chord and rang so true in my mind. There are so many instances where it feels like “What in the world just happened? How did I get here in my life? And, what in the world is going to happen next?” This is where the work comes into play and good things start happening.
Whatever circumstances we find ourselves in, there is a reason for it. Even if it feels like we’re stretching ourselves, it just means that we are being prepared for wonderful things to come! We are making conscious decisions, doing our best NOT to back track (which will only put us right back to where we don’t want to be), and to move forward for better things, greater opportunities, and a happier life!
Sometimes when things seem like they are tougher than they’ve ever been before, it’s just the start to a new door opening and welcoming you with open arms for blessings! That door could lead to a path you never thought you would be going down, and it turns out to be better than you ever imagined!…
