Maybe, You Are Where You Are Supposed To Be

There are seasons when your circumstances feel like a mistake, a wrong turn you keep hoping to undo. Before you spend more energy fighting the place you've landed in, consider another possibility: that this spot, uncomfortable as it is, might be exactly where you belong for now.

Not because someone planned it as a reward, and not because the hardship means anything noble. Sometimes the work you still have to do only shows up in the circumstances you'd never have chosen. The impatience to be elsewhere can quietly keep you from noticing what the present is actually asking of you.
