"Sometimes, what we see as a delay is actually a blessing in disguise." Adwoa had always dreamed of traveling abroad for her master’s degree. She worked hard, applied to multiple schools, and even secured a partial scholarship. But when the time came to leave, her visa was denied. She was devastated. It felt like all her efforts had been for nothing. For months, she struggled with disappointment. She watched as her friends moved ahead in life while she felt stuck. But instead of giving up, she decided to focus on what she could control. She took on a local job, started a side hustle, and kept learning new skills. A year later, something unexpected happened—an even better opportunity came her way. A fully funded scholarship to a top university, better than the one she had originally planned for. And this time, everything fell into place effortlessly. *Looking back, Adwoa realized that what she thought was a setback was actually a redirection. Sometimes, when life says "not yet," it’s not rejection—it’s preparation for something greater.*
