Sometimes we get caught up in the idea that we need to achieve certain things by a certain time of our lives. When we don’t, it’s easy to feel like a failure or beat yourself up for not being where you expected. Life isn’t always a straight line and often doesn’t end up exactly how you plan it to. Just because you aren’t at that “place” you thought you should be doesn’t mean you aren’t on track. Just because you didn’t attain the goal you envisioned doesn’t mean you are a failure.
Sometimes it’s the detours that teach you the most and offer you your biggest growth.
