Sometimes you think you’re opening a door to an experience and the door doesn’t lead where you thought it would. It leads you to another door. Once you know that, pass through that room, learn what you can on the way, and go through the next door. Your purpose is elsewhere and life is short. Move on, grateful for the experience, knowing you got what you needed even if it wasn’t what you wanted. The best things that happen to me have nothing to do with my plans and everything to do with my presence. That door you walked through was just a path, not home. And that’s okay. You never know what may come of it, who you impacted on that journey, and how it may circle back in miraculous ways. Walk through that room, head up, eyes up, and with grace. You got this. Choice is a gift; treasure it.
