Moving Forward by Moving Backwards: Finding the Lesson in Life’s Interruptions
Have you ever been lost in the perfect reading moment? You’re cozied up with your favorite book, soft jazz playing in the background, the lighting just right, maybe even a delicious piece of chocolate nearby. Then suddenly—the doorbell rings, your dog barks, or a loud noise startles you. You jump, and when you look down, the pages are shuffled. Not only are you pulled out of your peaceful zone, but you can’t remember what page you were on.
This has happened to me countless times. The decision to go back through the chapters is not only frustrating but also disappointing—especially when you were just about to discover something new in the story.
Life has a way of doing exactly this. It brings us 10 steps forward, only to require us to move 20 spaces back. One thing I’ve learned about this concept is that whenever life alters your steps, there’s most likely a lesson that needs your attention.
The next time life asks you to do the moonwalk, be kind to yourself. Allow yourself the grace to work on moving forward while meeting life’s challenges head-on. Remember: all roads lead to Rome.
You got this!
Hugs,
