Side Lanes on the Street of Dreams

by Malayna

You might find yourself frustrated at times because you haven't reached the goals you set for yourself once long ago. But maybe goals aren't always meant to be reached, but instead serve a purpose in getting us to move in the right direction. The universe may have better reasons for your desire to be a musician. Maybe it's to meet just the right people or to guide you to a more ideal career you would never have been able to imagine otherwise.

As we travel towards our dreams, we may discover avenues that we would never have noticed had we not started walking down one particular street. But once we can see them, we might discover that our true destiny lies down one of these side roads, a unique one made only for us.

Chellie Campbell in her book The Wealthy Spirit explains it this way: "As you pursue a goal, you accumulate knowledge and develop skills and abilities. Some of these are related to the goal you have chosen, but many are not. All of these new insights and abilities percolate inside you until, one day, you see another goal; something you couldn't have seen from the place you started when you picked the original goal. From this new vantage point, another goal becomes clear. Now that you see the new goal, it looks shinier and brighter than the original goal. And you change goals."

So be sure to take time to evaluate if the goal you are pursuing is still your heart's desire, and if it isn't, look around at the side lanes that have come into view, and choose a more appealing route for your journey through life.
