“One day, you will look back and see how intricately you have been guided. You will understand that your path unfolded in a way that was unlike any other, and so it makes no sense to ever compare your journey to someone else’s. One day, you will look back and realize that sometimes your biggest setbacks were actually setting you up for your biggest breakthroughs, you weren’t getting what you asked for because you didn’t know what you really wanted, you weren’t being left out, you were being shielded, you weren’t being rejected, you were being redirected. You are not missing out on anything except what was never meant for you in the first place. The doors that don’t open for you, no matter how many times you knock, remain closed for a reason — even if you don’t know what that is right now. Sometimes, we have to let go of the idea that there is only one way things can happen. Instead, we can hold our deepest desires in our hearts and allow the path of life to show us how we might arrive.” - @briannawiest #starsouls 📸 @laraaceliaa
