The phrase goes every setback is a setup for a step up. It took me until recently to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and then the news...I wasn't accepted into the program. Disappointed an understatement, as defeat began to set in like rigor mortis; the brain did one final check and the scan detected that giving up wasn't the last resort. Let me repeat that GIVING UP IS NOT THE LAST RESORT. I can almost close tonight's blog with that phrase as the magnitude of my words just slapped a few folks over the head, SELF included!
Just because it didn't go that way doesn't mean it didn't go my way. Maybe it was because I considered this program the Yale of programs that doesn't mean my Harvard isn't waiting around the corner, but whose to say that a Michigan version isn't just as good. All metaphors, but I really had to get past the name, well for one it had already gotten past me and two it was time to come up with my plan B. My goal didn't change just my path, so now I have to make a left instead of a right. The point is in bold letters above this route wasn't my last and it must be important for me to check out the scenery on the new one I must journey.
Many times we get so busy trying to get where we are going, that we forget to focus on where we are at. I have another option as long as I have another tomorrow!!
