Send us a textDoubt creeps in just when we feel most certain about our path. That's exactly what happened when I packed my belongings into a small Pinto with a U-Haul attached and set off for Arizona at age 18. I had never been out West but felt an inexplicable pull toward a new life there.When my car broke down in Colorado, depleting my savings for repairs, I questioned everything. Was this a sign I was on the wrong path? I continued to Arizona only to discover within hours that it wasn't my place after all. Alone, with barely enough money for a week of expenses, I made the pivotal decision to return to Colorado—where I would ultimately spend nearly 30 years of my life.What looked like obstacles were actually perfect redirections. Like squirrels leaping between tall trees, we need to keep our eyes fixed on where we're going, ignoring the distractions and dangers along the way. When we face challenges in pursuit of our dreams, they aren't necessarily signs we're on the wrong path but opportunities for growth and confirmation.This pattern appears repeatedly in our lives. A coaching client left a relationship with a narcissist without waiting for another person to come along. Despite holidays alone and moments of doubt, she maintained her connection to deserving love and acceptance. Within months, she met her life partner. Sometimes the unexpected detour—the obstacle in the way—turns out to be the biggest and best redirection possible.Ready to trust your journey?
