There Is No Timetable For Your Journey

”Embrace the pace of your own journey.”

- Unknown

Each one of us has our own individual journey. And like a journey, sometimes there are detours.

In my journey, it seemed like while I was on break from classes my journey was smooth. But when I returned to classes and had to adjust to a new schedule and balancing new life experiences, my journey took some detours. My plans to acquire certain things and to do accomplish certain goals hadn't come to fruition, and my faith faltered completely. My depression worsened, my anxiety was at a peak, and the decline of my mental ran over into my physical. I was letting a few detours, mistakes, and let downs take control of my life, my health, and the light that I worked so hard to nourish.

I pitied myself so much until I had to look within myself.

I had to understand that these detours were mine and hold myself accountable for getting lost but also show compassion to myself that I could do better and accomplish more than I planned.

A good part of the journey are shortcuts. My shortcuts are journaling, meditating, therapy, and reading my devotions. This led me to continuing my journey of nourishing my light and realizing that my standing true in my journey is a self-love and growth that is incomparable.

What is your truth?

Today, evaluate your mental. Are you lost in a detour or getting ready for a shortcut?
