I was sitting at this hotel earlier this evening, waiting for friends to join me for sunset and dinner. They were late or I was early and it left me with this wonderful moment to contemplate where I am. ⁣
⁣
I used to work here. Back in 2010 when I’d just met Dennis this hotel hired me to teach yoga and eventually to be ‘Yoga Director’ of the resort. I was 21 years old and it was the first job I’d ever had where you were supposed to punch in and out (I never did). I made $1600 a month and felt like I had won the lottery. Every day I’d push this old, unruly cart filled with yoga mats and bolsters from the storage room across the resort to this pavilion where I taught classes morning and evening. It did so much for me, working here. I learned a ton. How to plan yoga retreats. How to manage a Facebook page. How to teach classes that were half-filled with girls in Lululemon pants looking to sweat and invert and half-filled with couples in their 60’s who’d never practiced before and really could benefit from the support of a chair on their mat. I got really, really good at teaching yoga working here because I saw every kind of person. I didn’t know it, but I was laying the groundwork for something bigger. ⁣

When a few years later I parted ways with the hotel I felt a lot of resentment because I didn’t leave by choice, and I felt like I was edged out. I felt like something I had built from scratch was pulled from beneath me. It felt like failure. In reality, leaving this place was one of the single most important moments of my career. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have had a career at all. I’d probably still be pushing that cart around today. Instead I get to sit here - CEO of a global business, yoga studio owner, published author - knowing now that even though it rarely happens the way you’ve planned it; life has a plan. Now, the resentment I once felt for this place has been replaced with gratitude. I am so deeply grateful for this place and the lessons I learned here.⁣

Whenever you feel rejected know that you are actually being REDIRECTED toward something better. What’s meant for you won’t miss. You’re on your way. Keep going. x
