Turn "almost" to "instead"

There is pain and heartbreak in every “almost”. I read this in a book the other day and boy did it make me think.

And so I reflected on the “almosts” in my own life, and truth be told, most of them turned out for the better.

For instance, I almost moved to New Zealand in 2001. If I had, I know for sure I would not be here, writing this message to you today.

Maybe it’s all about perspective. In place of lamenting the “almost” you find the beauty in the path you DID take.

Turn the pain and heartbreak of the “almost” to the joy and beauty of the “instead”.

I would love to hear about some of your “almost” and “instead” moments.

With gratitude.
