Diversion

„A diversion can be something that takes you off the course you are on, like a detour while you are traveling, or a game of tennis that takes you away from the stress of work.“ (© vocabulary.com)

I studied this word for our first progress check and some days later I came across the following picture while I was browsing the Internet:

That’s when I realized that basically our whole life consists of diversions. I mean whose plans always (or ever) work out just as they were intended to in the first place? Mine hardly ever do, but still I always reach my goals somehow.

And you know what? – I’m pretty sure most of the time what happens in my life is even better than the plans I had.


Usually I’m a very organized person, which means I really like having plans and being in control of my life, but I think we need to be open to some “detours” as well. I realized that it is impossible to plan out your life, but I believe that everything happens for a reason and in the end things will turn out to have developed in a great way. The only thing we can do is to accept the diversions and try to make the best of them :) – You know what they say: The journey is the reward!

So enjoy every moment of it :)
