The Scenic Route: What I've Learned From a Life that Hasn't Turned out The way I Thought It Would

About this book

When you put a destination into a GPS, you know exactly how to get where you’re headed. Taking the scenic route means detours, unplanned stops, and unexpected turns. It means that things won’t go according to plan and your expectations won’t always be met. It means having the courage to ditch your map for a compass and to be guided by the thing that ensures your life will be interesting. But it also means you’ll go places you never would have been, meet people you never would have met, and have experiences you never would have had. It means that amazing things will happen. When life doesn’t go according to plan, you’re forced to take a detour. If you’re looking around and wondering where you’re headed, how you’re going to get there, and what you’re supposed to be doing with your life in the meantime, consider the following: Maybe you’re not a gigantic screw up who is ten years behind on accomplishing your life goals. Maybe you’re just the taking the scenic route.
