Daily Reminder: Being Prepared for What's To Come

One day, you’ll look back and see that even when things didn’t go according to plan, all along, all throughout every landscape you’ve traveled through in your life, there have been lessons you could have only learned by being on the journey.

You’ve learned what to say “no” to.
You’ve learned to adapt.
You’ve learned who your true friends are.
You’ve learned who can trust.
You’ve learned more about personality.
You’ve learned how you enjoy resting.
You’ve experienced the freedom of not being attached to certain outcomes.
You’ve experienced the scary, yet liberating feeling of letting go.

When you look back, you will discover that you never just traveling. "Just" means only, and you were doing so much more than just moving from one place to the next. You were gathering wisdom with every step. You were encountering grace at every place on the journey.

It can be hard to see all of this happening in real-time, but you can trust: this moment is not in vain. One day you'll look back and see all the beautiful ways you've changed.
