Every event that has ever happened in your life has prepared you for where you are right now.

Can you recall an event in your life that was challenging and tested you tremendously, but ended up being the best thing that could have happened to you? Perhaps it was an event that at the time, you thought you would never recover from. Humans have an amazing ability to be resilient and resourceful. We are flexible and adaptive creatures and we ought to be considering how life doesn’t like us being comfortable for too long before it throws another curveball our way.

A long time ago, I experienced a break up with someone I was madly in love with. I had never felt so in love or so sure of anything before and despite being young and naive, the love felt so real...and the ensuing heartbreak felt even more real. Some things are simply not meant for us forever, some people aren't meant for us forever. We need to know when to smile and wave them along as we continue on our journey through life. We also need to know when the universe is telling us that we need to pivot and move towards something greater.

We all know the saying, “When one door closes another will open”. It keeps us hopeful that maybe there is an opportunity in a missed opportunity-and there often is!

Your life and your experience in it, is unique. You may have many shared experiences, however what you choose to take from those experiences and the beliefs you carry can ultimately determine where you are currently in your life.

What has given you the strength, resilience and capacity to be who you are today?

You best believe that you are prepared for what is to come. You might feel fearful or anxious about where you are and what your next steps will be, but your path in life has led you to this very moment. So, what action do you need to take?
