Where we're supposed to be

Have you ever found yourself staring out the window of your office, watching the world go by, and wondering how you ended up here?

I do. Often.

Sometimes, I wonder how I ended up in this monotonous, everyday life. Is this really how it's going to be for the rest of my days? The same routine, the same faces, the same challenges dressed in slightly different clothes.

But then, a memory surfaces.

I remember lying in bed years ago, dreaming about exactly where I am now. I dreamed of sitting in an office, having a stable job with a stable income. The very thing I now take for granted was once the subject of my deepest wishes.

That's the funny thing about life, isn't it? We always want what we don't have and struggle to appreciate what's already in our possession. The grass is perpetually greener on the other side of the fence, even when our lawn is perfectly lush.

I almost forgot that a couple of years ago, I dreamed of being exactly where I am now. And somehow, I took it for granted along the way. I thought now, "I deserve to be here." But back then, I doubted myself, "Do I deserve to be there?"

I thought now, "I deserve to be here."
But back then, I doubted myself,
"Do I deserve to be there?"

When I step back and look at the bigger picture, this life isn't bad at all. In fact, it's pretty remarkable in its quiet way.

Perhaps what we perceive as monotony is just a pause—the deep breath before life's next great adventure. These quiet moments are teaching us patience, preparing us for the unexpected turns ahead.

The next time you find yourself questioning your path, remember that you might be exactly where you once dreamed of being. If not, remember those tiny moments in time when you used to doubt yourself worthy of being here.

The beauty of life isn't just in the destinations we reach but in recognizing when we've arrived at where we're supposed to be—even if it's just for now.

Until next time.

I hope you find this insightful. Remember:

It's not going to be easy,
But it's not impossible.
