Unhappy middle aged woman travels halfway around the world.

She finds happiness, love, and purpose. Eat, Pray, Love, was playing inside her head.

But then she realized her pride couldn't go any lower. She decided right then, to travel to Nepal and go see the elephants.

What did she have to lose?

Before she knew it, she was getting off the plane in Kathmandu.

The next morning she found a cafe, ordered tea, and looked out the window at the beautiful city.

She couldn't believe she was halfway around the world, alone, trying desperately to improve her life.

She was having serious doubts about how to discover how to achieve her dream life.

She was lost in her thoughts and doubts, mesmerized by the sights, sounds, and smells of the colourful city, When there was a tug on her sleeve.

She turned and saw little boy with light eyes and black hair standing by her side, he had a flyer in his hand.

The boy pointed across the street to a hole in the wall building, There was a colourful sign hanging above the door with a picture of an elephant.

What did the boy want?

Go and see the elephants, the boy said, the woman took the flyer from the boy’s hand and off she went.

She walked in through a beaded doorway to a dark room, Sitting behind a desk was a sight she was not expecting to see.

There was a middle-aged man, who she couldn’t help but assuming was an American, because he had an American flag bandana wrapped around his head and a long beard which came down to his chest.

Good morning, the man said with a welcoming smile. The woman looking surprised, said Hello and added that she wasn’t expecting to see someone like him there.

Why exactly, was she there, was it for the Elephants?

At that moment, she remembered, she was travelling halfway around the world looking to change her life.

Why was she she doing what a child had asked to do?

Well, this story had nothing to do with seeing Elephants, although, that's why she went there in the first place, but it had everything to do with the signs that lead her to that point.

She saw the elephants accompanied by the man with the long beard, they got to know each other and fell in love.

So, there you have it, she went looking for love and found it, went looking to change her life, and change she found.
She got rid of all her old bad memories, and together they became the owners of a Gym, earned millions and lived happily ever after.

This is to say, that we never know when or where, or how, a life changing moment will turn up.

I believe that all of the time, there are signs guiding us to the right destination, all we need to do, is to listen, see and follow these signs.
