In one of my earlier posts I mentioned my solo trip to Mexico that I took to shake off the cobwebs and change my perspective. While I was on that trip, I took an excursion to swim with giant sea turtles. On the morning of the excursion, the tour company packed our group of tourists in a van and we headed toward the ocean making one stop on the way so our tour guide could pick up a cooler with our lunches. When the tour guide got back in the van, she turned around and handed me a t-shirt in a clear plastic bag and said, “Chris, someone sent this for you”, and then we were back on the road again. No one else in the van received a t-shirt.
The bag had a small piece of paper inside it with my name written on it. Only my family knew the name of the resort I was staying at and they didn’t know anything about the t-shirt when I asked. The shirt says “Become Water”, which I took as a nudge from the universe to go with the flow. I have no idea where the shirt came from, but it was the first time in my life I felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be.
A few days ago, life put some puzzle pieces together for me again and I was reminded that I am exactly where I am meant to be. I needed this reminder during the current uncertain times to put things back in perspective. Feeling I am exactly where I’m meant to be changes everything.
