Key Lessons:
Your journey does not have to be planned to be purposeful. There are times, you are taken down the unconventional path to get to where you are supposed to be.
Your experiences, identities, and values can leave you with just the right mix of life that will help you be successful at what you do. Allow those experiences to give you the learning you need to be prepared when the call comes.
When the door closes, it’s best to accept that the opportunity may not be for you and another opportunity may be your calling.
