Have you ever had the experience of starting down a path but getting stopped over and over again? It is very frustrating. It can create a lot of anger and a sense of powerlessness. But there may be another way to think about this.

What if the path that you started on is not the right path for you? What if there is a better way for you? This is the experience that many people have gone through. That even though their hearts were set on a particular goal, that goal stayed forever impossible. This forced them to try something different. The reaction then becomes a sense of appreciation because this new goal actually fits them better and brings them to a better place.

It can be difficult to appreciate that this new path is better, especially if you had been hoping for a different way for so long. This then becomes the challenge. How can you accept this new journey and see all the good that comes from it? Or is this another dead end and another journey needs to be started?

My challenge to you: are you on the right path? Do you have the courage to change if you are on the wrong path? Do you have the strength to look for a new path? Do you have the support and resources to do so? If you do not, do you know how to get them?

You can do this. It is scary. But so very often beneficial! You can do this!
