I didn’t plan on sharing this post today but decided to anyway. For the last few hours, I’ve been thinking about how sometimes we miss what’s right in front of us.
It all started when my mum told me my sugarcane juice was on the table. I looked for it everywhere in the kitchen and couldn’t find it. So, I went back to the table to check again and lo and behold there it was. And there it had been the whole time. Right under my nose. And yet I had missed it the first time I checked.
And that’s how it often is on a larger scale in life too. We miss so much that’s right in front of us. We freak out when things don’t go exactly to plan, when we don’t get something we want. But the truth is, we only get what we’re supposed to at the time we’re supposed to get it. Humans are always in a rush, life is not, the universe is not. Things happen when they’re supposed to, things unfold exactly as they’re supposed to.
It took me the longest time to learn and accept that. To let go of the permanent anxiety in my chest because I was so afraid of change, of things not going according to plan. But once I learnt to accept my destiny, I found myself much more at peace. And I think the juice incident was a good reminder of the lesson.
I recently published my first book and would be very honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.
