You're Right Where You Need to Be

A dear friend read this to the first year class before their assessments. It really touched me and so I wanted to share it here.

It's from Journey of the Heart: Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul by Melody Beattie.

You're Right Where You Need to Be

You're right where you need to be - on your path, guided, in just the right place for you today.
Many times on my journey I stopped short, convinced I would never find the place I was trying to find, only to discover that it was right in front of me all the time. I had gone there instinctively. Gone right where I needed to go, right where I was heading.
There is a part of us that knows where we need to be and understands where we really want to go. There's a place in us that has the map, even if our eyes and conscious mind can't see it, can't figure it out, or aren't certain it's there. If you're spinning in circles, feeling lost and confused, trying to figure out where you need to be and not all that certain where you're going, stop. Breathe deeply. Look around.
You're right where you need to be. Maybe you've been there all along.
