We all start with an idea of how life should unfold. A plan. A path. A deadline. But sometimes, the dream that calls us isn’t reached in a straight line - it shows up disguised as a detour, a coincidence, or even a failure. That’s what makes this insight from Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus so powerful. It’s a reminder that what looks like a no might actually be a yes in disguise. Read this slowly and let it settle:
“…There are many options in life. What you may be convinced is only one way to fulfill a dream, you’re going to find out there are many roads that lead you to your dreams. And those dreams may find you when and where you least expect it….”
“…So my advice to you is keep your eyes, ears and minds open. Opportunities pop up at the most unexpected times and places. Are you going to recognize them? If you do, take it….”
⚡A Great News Day Powerful Takeaway
Don’t be so focused on the door you want to open that you miss the window that’s already ajar. Life is creative, and so is opportunity. Stay alert, stay hopeful, and trust that the winding road still leads forward. Today, try asking: What might I be overlooking that's actually an opening?
