Being Open

The Rolling Stones sang “You can’t always get what you want, but you just might find you get what you need”. As a young woman I asked an Astrologer to help me find a goal. What he saw as my career path did not appeal to me at all, at all, at all. I initially resisted his advice but then I decided that since I had asked for a goal, I would take this as my goal and see what happened as I went toward it. I decided to be open instead of closed, and that opened up fantastic opportunities for me. I hope my story will resonate with others to reconsider advice or opportunities that don’t seem ideal at the moment.

Realizing that she did not want to wait on tables her whole life, she returned to Toronto to study and eventually started one of Toronto’s first language schools. And owning a business became another adventure for her! For more about Marylou, visit http://marylouheenan.com.
