Sometimes life can be unpredictable.
....and thats a fact all on its own!! No matter how much planning you do, you always have to be prepared for life's little games. I came to Australia a few months ago with the intention to stay but since being here, lots of unpredictable events have changed my plans. Some may have seemed unimaginable and some I should have seen coming. Either way it takes time to realise that In reality the universe is in control of my happiness and fighting against it wouldn't get me anywhere. I won't go into too much personal detail about it all but I will outline the moral of the story.
I'm sure we have all been in those situations where you just can't quite grasp what is happening to you and everything seems to have fallen apart. It takes a while to get back to yourself and even more time to move on. This is what happened to me when my relationship ended, not in a horrible way though thankfully! Of course the initial stage never seemed to be the right time to 'look on the bright side' or think it's 'happening for a reason' even though you know you should think like that-you refuse. The strangest part is the instant change but in time it starts to make sense. So much sense actually!
The universe blows my mind...
I had two very simple choices, to be happy or to be unhappy. A friend who came into my life at the right time like a guardian angel gave me the best advice and the most obvious advice that I couldn't give myself. She said 'follow your heart, what do YOU wanna do?'
I thought long and hard about this. But this wasnt the right approach. Thinking wasn't the answer. Feeling was the answer. What did I feel was the right thing to do? I have always been happiest and been my true self when traveling and exploring new places. I did a bit of research and decided on my next journey. The next day it was booked!
I will travel to Sri Lanka first and then to Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro. My plan came together as most of my travel plans do... Asking myself 'Where would I like to go that I haven't been before' and of course can I afford it. Luckily I had worked on ships the past 10 months and went straight into a good job here in Australia so It was the perfect time to take on a new adventure. An adventure to heal the heart, to find myself again, to bask in the sun, to eat incredible food, to listen to travel stories, to have amazing adventures with strangers. To be me again!
I was recently told that if something is so hard to pursue and obstacles are constantly getting in your way, then this is a sign that maybe it's not the right path. Life is outright showing you this but it's up to you to see the signs. Looking back, obstacle after obstacle meant that maybe this wasn't the right path for me and now that I am truly following my heart oversees and every idea for the journey has gone so smooth, I'm taking this as a positive sign that I'm on the right path.
I will spend the next three months abroad travelling and teaching at a yoga retreat in Montenegro like I've always dreamed. This is the first blog post of my new adventure and I hope you all follow me on my journey
