"Only a few find
the way, some don't recognize it when they do - some... don't ever want to."
I had to say it again because it’s such a good quote that I know everyone can relate
to. Isn't it funny how everyone wants more and expects more for their life yet no one really wants to put in the time, effort and work to make this better life happen? And even when we do put the effort into a better life, new roads appear and doorways open that we didn't really want or expect. So we avoid them, thinking that the path we planned is the one we want even though God is trying to show us it's not the best life for us.
I know this has always been a big set back for me. I know I am meant for better things but I have such an issue with planning. I love having things on a set schedule and knowing what's coming next. My friends will tell you, when things don't go as I plan, my whole world falls apart even if just for a minute until I can replan out the situation. I guess I feel comfortable when I can control things. But I can't! I am never the one in control! He is. So why would I ever be so naive to think that I can control where my life is supposed to go?
Yes, I obviously have drive and passions that are essential to who I am, but just because I want my life to be one way doesn't mean that is how God planned it. For instance, I don't like producing. I never wanted to be a producer. I think I have a tendency to need too many details which can be controlling and it affects friendships and professional relationships I have. So I don't want to do it. I want to build my career by booking roles, being seen and eventually building my way up to getting my own show. But the traditional way is taking a lot longer than I have the patience for. And the industry is changing so much that it's a lot harder to succeed that way. Plus, like I said, I'm a planner and I'm good with numbers. You know what kinds of industry people plan and are good with numbers...producers.
And there's nothing wrong with producing! I just know for me, there's a lot of personal change that has to come in order for me to be an effective one. But opportunities keep popping up and people keep reaching out to me to help make projects happen. Plus I'm in the projects. It really is exactly what I want. But I have to produce. It's a different road than what I had planned for myself. But isn't it possible that this is a new door that God is opening for me? And if I'm good at it, why would I not want to develop my skills to be better at it? Well I am, it's just so funny that it's so not what I ever planned. But it is leading to my dreams coming true. And it's so natural for us to fight new opportunities that could be amazing just because it's not what we thought we wanted.
Some of us may never find the right path because it won't look like the path we envisioned. Others won't find the right path because they just don't want to and the reasons for that are infinite. Some people in this world are so free and trust that not only is God in control but the path He has planned out is so much better than anything they could ever have imagined for themselves. I don't know about you, but I want to be in that last group. So here's to embracing new and unplanned paths!
Love you guys,
