The Destination

Hello, everybody. My name is Jane Nutrils and I wanted to talk to you about the destination. We always know that we have somewhere that we're going. We have a goal. Maybe we're on a hike in a beautiful space and there's a trail or a destination on that trail, a point that you want to get to, and then life happens. Right? Right. There's a plot twist. Maybe there's a tree down on your path and you're redirected. Maybe you have to drive a different direction down a road because there's road construction to get to where you need to be.

Maybe you are on a path to a promotion and life happened. Or maybe you were studying in a degree and realized it wasn't your passion or your purpose, and you made a change. We can all have a destination. We can plan a path. Many of you listening are planners. You go on a trip, you have a plan. Maybe by day, you know exactly the stops that you're going to take. Maybe you sign up for the tours because you know that their structure. Maybe you're someone who doesn't have a plan and somehow things just work out because you trust.

So I would like to invite us to take into consideration the destination and how we might be able to allow ourselves permission to jump off the path and remember that being on a path or off a path, there's no right or wrong way to get there if we get there. And maybe sometimes when we take that plot twist, we see a course that maybe we shouldn't take but we're going to take anyway. Or we find a trip that is so outside our comfort zone that we hit. Yes. And we go. Those plot twists in life, those are the moments that we allow ourselves to grow because it's always in the discomfort that we expand and grow the most.

Think about the analogy of a beautiful butterfly. They start as a larvae inside of a cocoon, and the only way that they'll survive when they spread their wings is if they actually have to physically break through their own cocoon. And as they break through, that is a moment in time. They are strong enough to move, to grow, to fly. But if somebody broke the cocoon for them, they could never fly. They'd never survive because they never built that strength. So it's inside that discomfort, it's inside the plot twists.

It's knowing that we have a destination, but not always defining the path to get there and allowing ourselves the freedom to plot twist. I'm in Sedona. I just did a hike on Bell Rock and there's a trail, and then there's no trail. And if you want to get to a destination, you have to make it up as you go. And even on the way down, there's no one way to come back down. We just know that the parking lot is where we need to get to. Plot twist. My invitation to you is to lean into that plot twist, see what the beauty in that plot twist might be for you, and discover where you might find strength in the discomfort.

I hope you have a great day. I'll see you on here soon.
