I used to believe that life's best moments came wrapped neatly in a plan that I had carefully crafted.

It checked off boxes, my tickets were booked, my schedules were ironclad.

I thought the magic was in controlling the narrative, shaping every detail so nothing could surprise me and it would look

exactly as I pictured it in my mind. But lately, something's been shifting in my atmosphere and in my

experience. I'm realizing that sometimes the most profound lessons come from when the script falls apart.

When my flights are canceled, when the plan starts to unravel,

and I'm left there standing in a place that I didn't expect with no map, no itinerary,

and just the rhythm of my own breath.

In those moments, when the noise quiets and the distractions

fall away, you're forced to sit with yourself in a way that you might have avoided if

everything went to plan. And it's in that stillness, in that unplanned space, that you

start to see what you've been carrying around, the weight

of control, the tight grip on certainty. It's uncomfortable, it's unsettling, but it's also very

sacred because sometimes when the plan slips through your fingertips, it's not a loss.

It's an invitation.

An invitation to slow down, to trust more deeply, and to find freedom in the unknown.

Powerful.

You things are as powerful. Powerful. What is going on, beautiful people, you are
