There are and will continue to be times in life where detours are necessary. You can have the clearest plan in the world to get you to where you wish to go, yet there will always be unexpected things that will always crop up. These detours are where so much of your learnings will come from...more so than the clear plan that you may have in your mind. The place in which you are heading to, the things you wish to be and do in your life can be crystal clear in your mind, and that part will hardly ever change...as this is the part that keeps you going, this is your purpose in life to keep you moving forward. And as life redirects you along your path, your mind, your compass will never sway from what you truly want. For what you truly want is at the very core of who you are. So accept the detours of life, see the lessons in them, they are the very parts that make you stronger, more certain, more courageous, more determined than ever to get you to where you wish to be. And although not each detour will be enjoyable, it sure makes the trip way more memorable and meaningful in the end. For many the detours of life can bring up shame, criticism of self, guilt, thoughts that we should know better...yet really, if you allow, they are just there to show you again and again of what you deeply wish for in life, for yourself, for your family, for your community, for your world as a whole. AND so much greatness can come from life's detours. New experiences, new connections, new realisations, new opportunities, new strengths...so so much. Embrace it all...let it all just be and it will make for one hell of a ride to your next desired destination.
