Life rarely goes where you plan it. The speaker argues that detours and unexpected turns aren't failures but exactly where you need to be. Keep a high-level purpose in mind, stay unattached to specific outcomes, and each moment becomes an opportunity to learn and move closer to what matters.

Here is your moment of yes. You know, I've been inspired by a few things this morning. I had a great conversation with a friend who was sharing sort of his, his career and life journey over the last few years. And I read a blog from another friend who was talking about different things he's been going through. And kind of the one common thread from both of these stories is this idea of life is not linear, how we tend to do our human thinking and human planning. And we love to think that everything goes one step to the next, and it's this linear track and everything flows in the right direction and it feels right and it makes sense. And it's logical. We're human. That's what we do. But in reality, our life takes us all over the place. Sometimes we're actually going in the opposite direction than the place that we want to go. Does that mean that's wrong or that's bad? Not necessarily. Because as we kind of get pulled off of our path and we're over here when we want to be over there, we want to be up here and we're back here, is that our life journey is always taking us where we need to be right now. And even though we might be heading in the other direction, that path is eventually taking us where we need to go. When we're not attached to the outcome, we can never make a mistake. Now that means that As long as we kind of keep our high goal in front of us and what we're living from our purpose, and we're always doing what we feel is best right now, we really can't make a mistake. Now, things might not come out the way that, that we were envisioning them to, but it's going to be the way that it's supposed to be. And ultimately, if we're doing our best and we're living from our highest sense of right, we're always going to be right where we need to be, and we're going to find a lot of joy and peace in our life. So life is not linear. Where you are right now is where you're supposed to be. It's perfect right here and right now. Keep that high goal in front of you, but accept, embrace, and appreciate this present moment. It's ripe with learning. Have a wonderful day. That's your moment of yes. Thank you.
