Detours

It doesn't matter how "fixed" you think your life is, there will always be a detour when you least expect it. Your everyday route through life decides that repairs are needed and you are forced to change course. 

If you've done self-awareness work on yourself, the detour will be accepted with little concern. If you've left your ego in charge, the detour is going to be a problem. 

Fear is the deciding factor on how you will manage your detour. If you fear the unknown the detour is going to cause great anxiety. If you trust that God, Creator, Universe, Higher Power has your back the detour is going to bring understanding. 

A detour is a small inconvenience in the whole scheme of things. Our lives aren't supposed to be without inconvenience. It's how we learn gratitude for those times when there are no detours to contend with. We have a tendency to get complacent when life is going well. We need those reminders to ensure we grasp the importance of being grateful regardless of our life's circumstances.

The next time you see the barricades and flashing lights indicating that change is coming...feel gratitude knowing that you will be taking the right route. <3
