The moment I realized that it was okay to have a different path than those I respected the most was freeing.
There comes a time when each of us has to mentally graduate from the paths that we perceive others have placed us on. We have to learn things to apply to ourselves. It becomes our responsibility to grow and do. It won’t always look like what others are doing, and that’s okay.
The present moment is all we have. Thinking of past mistakes or future fears will distract us from the present moment. Take a chance today. Take a chance on yourself. Each of us is promised today, but we are not promised tomorrow. Take a chance. Do some things a little different than what you were told. Follow your gut. You were uniquely designed with a specific purpose.
Take the small steps. Those little steps will reveal your purpose and strengthen your confidence in yourself. Just trust the small step.
