Do you follow your dream without altering it?

Yesterday I had a nice conversation with a sweet friend. We had not seen each other in a month and I was so excited to visit with her. She told me what was new in her life and how her family was doing.

Once I began filling her in on the paths I'd been running down, I could see her look at me with questioning. She questioned how I started the shop and 'The Dream' I originally had and how it was changing.

At first I was taken aback by her statement and felt as if I had to defend the decisions and new directions I've been taking. Now, I was not upset with her for saying it. She was letting me know what she felt and that is not a bad thing.

When we share pieces of our lives with others, we ultimately only share 'pieces' and the 'pieces' we don't share, complete the puzzle.

If we do not alter our paths to handle the bumps in the road or even run from the tornadoes coming at us, we will not succeed. The 'Dream' or 'Goal' we set before us can not be reached if we stay on a single-minded course.

Now, with that said, we do need direction and consistency and that can be tricky and at times and feel impossible.

My dream is coming true and while it may not be as I origianlly planned, it is taking me down an even bumpier road and in new directions I did not dream possible.

I love my friend and her words of wisdom. These chats help me become stronger and reflect on the blessings I have and the blessings to come.

It is in my humble opinion that if you are striving for what you want, it is OK to take a different path, as long as you reach your goal.

Love Life!
