Even when you think you know where you're going, you really don't. You only know where you mean to go, or want to go.
Sometimes, it looks like a straight shot of road, right down to your destination, and then you crest a hill and shit! There's a curve there. You couldn't see it from where you started. You had to be halfway down the road before it stood out.
There's nothing wrong with a curve. That whole phrase about "It's the journey, not the destination?" Sure. I guess it all depends on what you consider your destination to be. I think it still helps to have a goal in mind. Eye on the prize. But I also think that when life throws you a curve, you bloody well look around and see what's hiding there. Even if what's there is hard or scary or too much or too big.
Edison said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
A lot of things look like work.
Does that means a lot of things are opportunities?
