Once there was a little girl who had dreams and aspirations. She followed her heart and stood beside it even when the road pointed a different way. Little did she know that the road led to disasters and darkness and despair, but once she became aware she looked back and realized she was lost. The road no longer led to her hopes and dreams. Instead it forked off in a million different directions leaving the girl confused and alone. She had no idea what path to choose next. She'd chosen her path years ago, how could she have possibly lost her way? This didn't matter though. All that mattered is which road she'd choose next. Because this next road, this unpredictable road of anxiety and unknowing, this road meant leaving behind everything she had ever known. This road meant uncertainty. However, once she opened her eyes she found that this new road was the path she was meant to take all along.
This girl was me.
This girl was probably you at one point. Maybe it's you now.
But there is no doubt in my mind that this story ALWAYS ends the same. That unpredictable path filled with fear anticipation always turns out to be the road that leads us to where we are meant to be.
If this girl is you ... it's time to open your eyes and see your next path as the path to your destiny. And the best part about it is, you get to choose it. You get to make it. You get to live it.
How do I know this?
Because this girl was me.
Everything I have ever lost has led me to something more amazing than I had ever imagined. A door may be closed, but it's never too late to sneak out the window.
