I often wonder where I would be if I did not make the wrong decisions in my life.

There have been so many times in which I’ve prayed for something and received it, just to see that it wasn’t the right thing for me. I’ve worked so hard to get somewhere, only to realize that this wasn’t the move. I’ve done so much to try and get ahead just to realize that there was a different door that opened up for me.

I’m grateful for every blessing that has come into my life, but I’m even more thankful to God for taking out the things I never needed. I am full of shit when I say that things are going to happen a certain way because, in reality, I have no idea how things will happen. I can try as hard as I want, but God must be laughing up there when he hears about my plans. The best experiences that I’ve ever come across were the ones that had me unprepared.

Can you imagine having everything you ever wanted at some point in time? How great life would’ve been if you had been doing “this” or “that”? I think it’s easy to point out what could’ve gone better or what mistakes you could have been able to avoid while not realizing that you wouldn’t be where you are without those mistakes. EVERY SINGLE ONE. There’s a mistake that brought you here. Whether it’s accidentally walking into a Chuck E Cheese to apply over the summer, or just plainly asking your boss’ boss about the next promotion.

I’m not too sure I believe in accidents. The universe works in super mysterious ways, and I think that we have lessons in front of us every day to learn a thing or two whether it was the long line at the Starbucks or the car that was driving too slow on your way to work, maybe even those things aren’t just coincidence.
