Sometimes I look back at my blog posts, and I’m like, “wow… I wrote that?” I know I’m the author of my posts; I’m just amazed at some of the sentiment that comes from them. See, I don’t fancy myself to be a guru at writing. I have, however, allowed myself to listen to the still, small voice inside and I write what comes to me in that moment.
I have a tendency to reflect on things. I reflect on different aspects of my life and sometimes I wonder what it would be like today had I made different decisions in the past. Then I realize that while hindsight may be 20/20, living my life as it comes has been a good thing. It keeps me humble. It reminds me that I’m not in charge and actually takes some pressure off of me. See, when I realize that I’m a part of the process, but not responsible for everything that happens, I can relax and focus on making the best decisions about the things over which I have some level of control. It’s when I relax into what I have some influence over, that I see how things begin to fall into place and life isn’t quite so hard.
Life brings us challenges, this is true. Sometimes we wonder what the lesson is as we’re going through a difficult time. I’ve found that given enough time, and the willingness to see and accept the lesson even if it’s not what I wanted, I eventually understand how the various situations in my life all connect.
When you’re on the right path, you just know. There’s something familiar, something comfortable about it. Each step individually may not have appeared to make sense as it was happening, but as time progresses, you eventually see the pattern and connect to pieces to the puzzle.
Open your mind to living life and working through things as they come. Eventually you will see the silver lining in difficult situations. You’ll know even during your most difficult times, there is a plan. You’ll know that plan is designed specifically for you, and you’ll know it’s right.
