How did I end up here?

Awareness, inspiration, Mindfulness, Motivational, prompts, Sadje's View

This week Reena invites us to consider a few quotes as our starting point. I chose this one;

“There was rarely an obvious branching point in a person’s life. People changed slowly, over time. You didn’t take one step, then find yourself in a completely new location. You first took a little step off the path to avoid some rocks. For a while, you walked alongside the path, but then you wandered out a little way to step on softer soil. Then you stopped paying attention as you drifted farther and farther away. Finally, you found yourself in the wrong city, wondering why the signs on the roadway hadn’t led you better.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Emperor’s Soul

➰➰➰

From where we start to where we end

The journey in never a straight line, clearly defined

Every little thing that happens plays a part

Small missteps, detours and failed shortcuts

Seemingly things that weren’t supposed to happen

All happened because they were all meant to

The direction our life takes is not decided by us

So many variables, so many chance events happen

In short, we wander on the path of our life

Supposedly in charge but in reality, never completely

Call it fate, destiny or will of a superior power

But there are no wrong turns in life

And everything comes about according to a greater plan

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  8. The question is great, even I asked it to myself last year and write a post with same title!

    This resonated so profoundly because “life” is meant to be, even with the little hiccups that come with the territory! 🥰🙏🏼🤗 YES!
