Did you know life is not a linear journey? Did you know going the wrong way is also going the right way? Everything is an opportunity. Stay with me because I am not saying that it feels good or it wasn't wrong if it hurt you. I am saying life isn't linear and for thousands of years we have been sold on a linear path to "success, love, career, family, wealth, parenting, friendships, entrepreneurship; you name it.
I have realized that when I focused on the invisible linear line I missed the simple things with big messages. I missed the quiet time as a mother and woman, which was necessary for me to listen to myself and my inner power. I missed emotionally connecting with all of the creation reminders and learning my own power of creating through the stillness that I was taught to ignore because it was laziness or would not get me to my destination without hard work and hustle.
The simple things that get ignored on the invisible linear route to wealth were learned the hard way because instead of me bumping into it, it visibly stood blocking me until I noticed what I ignored for decades. The pain of what we ignore feels heavy to unpack. The quickness of resolutions is sold to us and makes us forget the simple things like finding curiosity, divine knowledge, and hope in our own discovery. The path individually set up to aid in many simple yet profound moments along the way.
My linear mindset kicked my butt. The wall I stood in front of had gotten so big that I was unrecognizable. Good thing that no matter what road I started on, or continued down I always was where I was supposed to be. I learned that one by noticing the simple things like the butterfly 🦋 that slowly landed at the right time on my unpredictable bike ride anywhere. Somehow we met and I was able to see that every simple thing has a purpose for where I am going.
I like most have fought for the correct way of doing and being. I lost and learned in every encounter. I decided I couldn't live like that anymore. To be honest I haven't met someone that has. Truth be told the linear path makes us not only lie to others but to ourselves as well. I can't lie anymore. It's the simple things that help me to recognize love, joy, my own abilities to be, become, and allow. It's the simple things like a conversation at a local coffee shop where my coffee cup says just the right message and somehow again I was met on the way to anywhere.
I hope the day you read this you recognize that the simple words in this simple message is right where you were meant to be and somehow we have met.
Did you know that there is no wrong way to go? Every step takes you somewhere.
