When you’re lost on a journey, do you keep driving around in circles hoping that your destination will miraculously arrive, or do you try a different route until you find it?
Or do you sit behind the wheel and judge yourself for being a bad driver because you’re on the wrong road? If you do, does it suddenly make your destination appear?
Life is no different.
Hopelessness is never the end of the road. It’s a sign that you need to take a new one.
The fact that you knew how to get yourself onto THAT road means that you have the ability and skill to change routes.
When we find ourselves in a rut, we shouldn’t remain invested in that rut hoping that someone else will come along and change it for us.
We need to change it for ourselves because we know what destination we’re in search of. No one else does.
Holding others responsible for getting to our destination assumes that they are not also searching for their destination. Or are lost in their own rut.
It’s how our journeys intersect with each other that we find companionship and comfort in others. Not in waiting for them to navigate or journey for us.
Own your life. It’s yours to own.
