Life is truly unpredictable and it can be fun to look back and realize how little we knew about how our lives would play out and who we would become.
For instance, I never imagined:
That I would be a life coach (I didn’t even know what it was.)
Or, have my own business
Or, that my son would survive his teenage years and become a pastor
Or, that I would live in the state of Missouri
Half hour walks in 29 degree weather like the one I took this morning were definitely not on my radar
Neither was a 3 bedroom and den home with a large yard
Or, that the little car I bought 16 years ago would still be going strong
And, most of all, I could never have imagined the unique blessings and personalities of my 3 amazing grandchildren.
Taking time to remember that life is unpredictable and more expansive than we ever realized can be a blessing. It reminds us to be hopeful about the future and open to more possibilities.
And now, it’s your turn:
I encourage you to journal about the unexpected blessings in your life. These prompts can help you get started.
I never imagined…
I accomplished or received more than I thought possible when…
How can I be more open and confident in future possibilities?
My heart is guiding me to…
I am willing to…
(If you don’t like journaling, you can write lists or just spend time with your thoughts.)
You will be glad you did.
Please feel free to share your thoughts or some of the twists and turns of your life in the comments below.
