So my birthday is coming next week and I have planned a few celebratory outings with friends. I needed a pair of shoes to go with an outfit that I was planning to wear so I went to the store.
Now, those that know me well know that I don't like shoe shopping. Nothing I hate more than going around a store, getting shoes, taking off my shoes, trying the new shoes on, trying on the second size, looking in the mirror, walking in the shoes, then putting my shoes back on. Rinse. Repeat.
But I digress. I'm in the store, looking for shoes and I spot a pair that might do and I go through the routine. I tried the shoes on and they were ok. By ok I mean they were cute, and sorta comfortable for the moment. Why for the moment, because I knew that as the night wore on when I would wear the shoes, they would begin to hurt my feet. But I held onto those shoes and was set to purchase them because I didn't want to do an all out search of the store and I was ready to go.
I was walking to the counter and my inner Tera said, "hey girl" and I said, "huh?" Yes I talk to myself (and you do too!) "Go look in that part of the store back there in the corner." I almost didn't listen. As I said I was ready to go. I turned around though and went to the back corner of the store and saw a pair of shoes. Then I stood there having a small argument with myself because I didn't want to repeat the process of trying on more shoes, but I gutted it out.
Well holy smokes, those shoes fit perfectly. Not only that but they were cute too!!!! I mean these are some go all night shoes!!!!!
If I had accepted what I saw at first, I'd have put the shoes on and regretted it for half of a night. But by looking beyond what I thought I could settle for I found something so much better.
Don't settle! Keep Pushing! Go to the back in the corner! There's something awesome waiting there!
Blessings!!!!
