When the path reveals itself, follow it.
Cheryl Strayed
Sometimes in life, things don’t go the way you planned, or hoped. The key is to know when to let it be, and when to put up a fight. My worldview here is simple. Some things just aren’t meant to be. Call it resignation. Call it acceptance. I call it divination.
I listen to the universe and I believe it all unfolds exactly as it should. So when things don’t go my way, I see it as a course-correction. A gentle nudge (or rarely, a violent shove) to go this way, not that way. And you might ask: how do I know when to follow life as it unfolds, or whether to push harder for what I thought would be my plan? I have found that if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. It just hasn’t risen to the level of consciousness.
Life is so much better when you accept reality as it is. Think of it as the path revealing itself to you, a detour for a better, more interesting version of the life you had thought would be yours. Take the step. You won’t regret it.
