Pretty little mistakes

Mistakes. Life is all about making pretty little mistakes. Little detours that teach us lessons to prepare us for our final destination. These little mistakes help us discover who we are really meant to be.

Courage. It takes a lot of courage to admit our mistakes and to ask for a second chance. It takes courage to embrace our fears and go after what we want.

I tapped into my courage and asked for a second chance for the job opportunity that I declined. I admitted that I made a mistake by turning down the job and expressed my fears that held me back from saying yes. My honesty paid off and I was given a second chance at the job.

I accepted the job and accomplished my goal. I set out on this journey to follow my heart. One thing that I learned is that I will never have a perfect picture of what I am meant to do. I believe that I will discover it over time, by making those little detours. I focused on what I was looking for in my next job and magically the pieces came together. I secured a job in marketing that will allow me to use my creative and analytical skills. I will be working with a team of smart people who respect my values for a manager who will teach me the lessons I need to learn right now. I see many possibilities for that interest me in my new job.

The only way to discover what my heart really wants is to try different things that interest me and learn from each experience. After all, each little detour will lead me closer to where I am meant to be.
