Why Changing Paths Doesn’t Mean Giving Up on Your Dreams

Life often throws us curveballs. We start with clear goals, imagining how our future will unfold. But sometimes, we find ourselves facing a new path. We may ask, "Am I giving up on my dreams by going in a different direction?" It’s normal to feel this way, but changing direction doesn’t mean abandoning your dreams—it can lead you closer to them.

The Pressure to Stick to One Path

We’re taught that success follows a straight line. Graduate, get a job, and keep moving forward. We compare ourselves to others and fear that veering off course means failure. But in reality, few people follow a perfect path. Many successful people look back and see how detours helped them grow and find new opportunities.

Changing paths doesn’t equal failure. It often means you’re adjusting to what you’ve learned along the way.

Reframing Change as Growth

When we change direction, we may feel we’re giving up on what we wanted. But, instead of seeing it as a setback, think of it as a chance to grow. Sometimes the path we choose early on is based on what we know at the time. As we learn more about ourselves, our dreams evolve.

Your original plan might no longer fit who you’ve become. And that’s okay. Changing paths can lead to new, even better dreams that match who you are today.

Dreams Change Over Time

Dreams aren’t fixed. As we grow and learn, our goals shift. The dreams you had yesterday may not be the same today. This doesn’t mean you’ve given up on them—it means they’ve evolved with you.

Your new direction might be part of a bigger plan that you haven’t seen yet. Trust that your journey is still moving you toward a fulfilling future, even if it looks different from your initial vision.

Embrace the Process

It’s natural to wonder if you’re making the right choice. You might doubt whether you’re on the right path. But often, the only way to know is to trust that the path you’re on now will lead to something valuable. Change doesn’t have to be feared. It’s just another step in your journey.

Your path is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to success. Every twist and turn you make adds to your experience. Each change is a part of your growth. Even if you don’t see it now, trust that these steps are moving you closer to your dreams.

Information is often restricted; leadership oftentimes telling congregants that certain books or…

Forget the mountain, I'm headed for the beach: Exploring a Journal Prompt from Chapter 14 of "Changing Paths"

Happy Friday, dear readers! This Friday marks my exploration of the final chapter in Changing Paths by Yvonne Aburrow. I thought I’d offer a few musings on the following journal prompt from the book: Do you believe that all religions are paths up the same mountain, or up entirely different mountains? As I think about this question, I suppose that all religions might have the same goal in an…

Do you think instead of destroying statues and paintings of the traitor Primarchs the Imperium just repurposed them? Or far down the line when the memories have faded they were found hidden away and attributed to a loyalist Primarch? Did the returning Primarchs ever see such depictions and know truth but had to keep their mouths shut?

Did Guilliman ever see what he was told was a statue of Corvus Corax recovered damaged from a bombardment but knew instantly he was looking at Konrad Curze from a better time?

Was the Lion ever shown a governors private art collection and see a portrait of Sanguinius but with strangely pale hair and an odd tinge of purple peaking out beneath a thin layer of gold?

Personally I headcanon that this kind of thing is the in-universe reason for the Primarchs looking slightly different in various canon materials. Especially Corax sometimes having his hime cut and sometimes having a more Curze-like hairdo, it was a mix of the imperium trying to cover up the traitors role in shaping the imperium and later generations just forgetting.

On being a Queer Muslim

Amazing conversation on being a Queer Muslim, leaving and returning to your religion with a fresh perspective, navigating different spaces that don’t support every aspect of who you are, and dealing with religious trauma.

I have very strong opinions about disaster preparation as someone who lives in a tornado zone, where evacuation is NOT an option for anyone and the only way to definitely survive is to 1) be in a building that WON'T just get picked up AND 2) have a basement, cellar, or specialized tornado shelter.

The simple fact is that the majority of fatalities in tornadoes are people living in mobile homes/trailers and those deaths could be reduced massively if the government built tornado shelters in high risk areas. But there's been very, very little effort to do that and tornadoes are just getting stronger and more deadly while poor people are left to huddle in our bathtubs, listening to the sirens and thinking about easily we could die.
