Where you need to be

On a recent road trip, I was in desperate need of a rest stop and thankfully found a little coffee shop. In the restroom, a small sign said, “You are exactly where you need to be.” I smiled and agreed.

I ordered a drink before heading back on the road. While I waited, I saw another copy of the sign: “You are exactly where you need to be.”

It caused me to pause.

Different place, same message. Again, true.

I had learned the lesson: wherever we are, we’re exactly where we need to be.

Powerful.
