When Your Next Doesn’t Look Like You Thought

Have you ever known exactly where you wanted to go but felt completely lost on how to get there? Maybe you’ve had a plan in mind, something that seemed like the perfect next step—only for it to fall apart before you even had the chance to move forward. It’s frustrating when you’re ready for more, but the way to get there isn’t as clear as you hoped.

But what if the way forward isn’t about having every step perfectly mapped out? What if a shift in perspective could change everything?

Sometimes, the path doesn’t look the way you expected. You might find yourself considering options that don’t quite match your original vision. Maybe you feel like you’re settling or taking a detour. But what if that step—the one you weren’t so sure about—is actually positioning you for what’s next? What if it’s a strategic move rather than a setback?

Here’s something to consider:

A shift in perspective can change everything. The opportunity in front of you might be better than you think—it just takes seeing it differently.

Delayed doesn’t mean denied. Just because it isn’t happening the way you imagined doesn’t mean it’s not happening at all.

Every step serves a purpose. Even if it’s not exactly what you envisioned, it’s still progress. Each move forward prepares you for what’s ahead.

Trust the process, even when you can’t see the full picture. What feels like a detour may actually be leading you straight to where you’re meant to be.

If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about the next step, take a moment to shift your perspective. Could it be that you’re not stuck—you’re just in the part of the journey that requires patience, trust, and a willingness to see things differently?

What if this step isn’t about settling but about strategy? What if it’s the very thing that will position you for more?

You may not have all the answers right now, but keep moving. The clarity will come. And when it does, you’ll realize that every twist, turn, and unexpected moment was leading you exactly where you needed to be.
