Perseverance

"Accept the lesson. When things don’t go our way, something more important to the growth of our soul is in the works."

- Cheryl Richardson, from the Grace Cards

Many plans I had for the summer fell by the wayside. Re-assessing things, I believe I made the best choices for myself. The choices did, in fact, steer me in another direction, which I feel is better for my well-being. Still, I’ve been feeling dejected at times. Wondering if and where I went wrong. Looking at circumstances from a broader perspective, I did right by my spirit - by honoring my intuition, not being attached to outcomes and surrendering to the process. I believe, also, there are lessons about perseverance. There's no failure, if something vital has been learned.
