At 70 I am still figuring it out! Life gave me a big detour but as you said I have just been rerouted I still am on my path. Thank you for your well written insight. This should be mandatory reading for all high school graduates!

I feel like most of life is learning to embrace those detours and know we are still on our path, even when it doesn’t feel like it. So happy to hear you enjoyed this 🫶🏻🙏🏻

I’ve had detours that felt like distance from my purpose, only to realize later they were refining it. Building discernment. Building structure. Building range.

Detours don’t erase identity. They mature it.

This was beautifully written.

I’m happy to hear that you can relate! It can be hard in the moment to realize those detours may be a part of our paths. Thank you so much for your kind words 🫶🏻
