Have You Ever Felt This Way?

Have you ever felt behind in life? Perhaps you wished or thought that you should have been at some other stage in life by now?

Maybe things have gone more slowly than you had expected, or it seems like everyone else has gone on to another stage of their lives and you’re still waiting for something to happen in yours.

It can be easy to let the “should’s” of life get us down and detract from the beauty of the adventure that we are living.

Society tells us a number of things we should do or be by certain points in life causing disappointment or discouragement to take over when things don’t match up to the expected narrative.

However, everyone’s path in life is different.

So, instead of comparing, we encourage you to own your own path, to let go of any expectations that may be inhibiting you from fully enjoying the seasons and stages you find yourself in, and to embrace the adventure that is uniquely yours.

Just because something takes longer, doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Big dreams don’t happen overnight. They take time, and often there is more at work behind the scenes than we can see from our limited vantage point.

Whatever you are waiting on—whether it’s a promotion, a relationship, a house, a family, a trip, a reward, an offer, a certain accomplishment, etc.—don’t give up hope.

You are not late, you are not “behind”, you are on the path that is right for you.

Instead of wishing your current season away, challenge yourself to lean in, soak up every lesson, and be grateful for where you’re at while maintaining excitement for where you’re going.

No season lasts forever and no season is without purpose.

Don’t miss your own greatest adventure because you’re so busy trying to make it into something else.
