You Have Missed Your Flight

You have spent all morning stressed about making your flight. You have made a dozen alarms to remind you of when you need to leave. TSA was unnecessarily stressful and everyone walks so slow at the airport so now you arrive to your gate, exhausted from running with too many suitcases and stressed because of all the chaos only to be told..."Sorry you have missed your flight."

You blink thinking it's all a dream.. I mean you're not too far off since its 6 am and you have been awake since 4 and you're starving and your heart is beating wayyy to fast... So, of course you now think you're having a stroke and simply misunderstood the stewardess but alas you have not. The pilot had to make a change in the schedule and you somehow were not notified of the time change and now all of that stress was for nothing. Now there's nothing for you to do but sit and wait. Despair seems a little dramatic but not too far off either. Oh here's my favorite part- when you have nothing else to do but ruminate on all the "shoulda coulda wouldas" like, "I should have double checked my email," or "I could have set an earlier alarm" OR "I would have made my flight if only.."

But the kicker... the real gut puncher is that you would NEVER miss a flight you were meant to catch.

Insert any circumstance where you kept pushing and pulling to get what you want only to realize it's not what you want at all. How many times have you caught yourself bogged down in the chaos you created all to realize... you created it. By rushing. By not having faith that you will get to where you need to be or fearing you're going to miss your flight. But news flash. We only miss the flights we were never meant to be on. You cannot miss your life's purpose. Yes, people confuse us and weigh us down, and curses are wrapped in pretty bows or disguised as flights you feel pressured to jump on AND all while life steadily goes on at a pace anyone and everyone would get whiplash from... It can become chaotic, absolutely, because it is, but no amount of chaos can ever get in the way of the flight you're meant to catch.

So how about set only one, okay! maybe two alarms.. and walk toward your gate. You have a flight to catch after all.

And look! You and your flight are right. on. time.
