Hidden Opportunities

I've always considered myself fairly lucky given the different jobs I've held in the past 4 years. Each has provided invaluable experiences and lessons I can apply to the rest of my career but none of them are jobs I would have imagined having if you had asked me 4.5 years ago. It's not always what you immediately want but those are the hidden opportunities that will take you to places you've never imagined you could go. Along the way, sacrifices will continue to be made because success was never about doing what is easy; it is about doing the difficult things necessary to achieve the bigger picture. It starts with the courage to take that uncomfortable first step and the rest will fall into place as they always have. It's not my plan that was put in play...it has always been His. For that, I am thankful because if I had followed what I thought I wanted to be back in high school, I would've been a forest ranger.
