Maybe There’s Another Path For Me

When the thought "What if this path is a dead end?" came to me, I quickly grabbed a pen and piece of paper to sketch out what the next visual could be.

My next thoughts were: "What if I'm not supposed to go this way?" "What if I'm meant to go in another direction?" and that led me to this visual.

Viewing things from this angle really helped shift my perspective. Instead of feeling like a failure for not moving past a blockage like I've done before, I realized that maybe the path I thought I was supposed to follow wasn't the right one. A setback doesn't necessarily mean moving backward. It could mean I need to take a step back (or several steps back) to reevaluate where I am and where I'm meant to go. And this is what the golden path represents—a golden way forward.

I thought I was done, but something kept urging me to dive deeper. Then it hit me: "What if there's more than one right path?"
