My path is different from your path and that's ok!!

We have all found our self at some point in time telling a friend, a co-worker, a family member, and sometimes even a stranger that we have been in their "shoes" and that we completely understand. But do we really understand?

When I started going through the divorce it seemed I couldn't find the first person that understood what I was going through. And when I finally talked to someone that said they did understand, they had no clue as to how I actually felt in my heart. They were so far away from understanding. It bothered me that I felt alone and that no one understood. My parents have been happily married for years. They could only show me love and support in the best way they knew how.

It bothered me for a long time, I honestly felt so alone in this world. I had and still have a great support of family and friends but they can't fix something that's broken on the inside. My mind started asking questions like why am I in this situation and no one seems to understand? Then it seemed the more I thought about it, the more people would tell me they understand and had been in my shoes before. Then as most of you can guess those people started telling me how I needed to handle my situation. Wow!! Glad I followed my heart and what I thought was the right thing to do!! I am much happier with my own decision.

Bit by bit my hard heart started to realize, hey my path is different for a reason. There is a purpose, there is a plan. Then more and more my attitude changed and I really begin to notice that not one person has been down the exact path I have been on or never will they be on the same path. We all walk a different path but me and my path may be able to help you and the path of your life.

It's ok that we have a different path that's what makes us so unique. Yes we are different but it's how you handle your path and how you cut your path that makes THE difference.

I have realized that my path is my path and your path is your path. I don't worry about running into someone on my path, my path may cross yours and that's when we should help each other. I am working on cutting my own path for the best. My path is different from your path and that's ok!!!

Just remember don't judge someone by the path they have already tread, if anything help them cut the path in front!!
