Trust the process
I have to say this has definitely been a journey. There are so many moving parts and contributors in our lives. Between family, work, community, friends, responsibilities, ….. then we have another layer of expectations, from society, culture, religion, socially, collegial, family, employers, employees, ….. then we have another layer of trauma and hurt both intergenerational and lived experience….. then we have our own narratives, emotions, mind set, belief systems, understanding and knowing …… then we have things like self belief, self esteem, self self self ……. And of course we then have our behaviours & actions.
Any wonder life is complex!!
As we work through our lives learning, developing, experiencing, living we carry the weight of all of these things. Challenging our inner self and finding our way through the layers to discover ourselves is by no means easy navigation. So many sliding doors depending on the decisions and choices we make. Rerouting and looping back to our natural path as we uncover and learn things.
Whole heartedly trusting that what is meant for us will appear, that it will keep presenting until we are ready, that the path we are even on is the right one is daunting!
Still having that belief when horrible things happen to us and around us is challenging and sometimes we have to dig very deep to stay the course. Compassion for those that hurt us or make things more difficult, finding and learning the lesson, evolving and developing because of it.
Reflecting identifying and addressing constantly can be exhausting. Healing growing and changing can be and often is really hard. Evolving releasing and trusting can be epic!
Trusting the process when things get hard takes courage, inner strength, mana and confidence. Standing in your truth, on your path, where ever you are at on that path can be scary. Being different, often isolated and alone can be lonely. Choosing YOU comes with all of its own challenges such as walking away from those you love.
As my world evolves and has changed dramatically over the years, trusting the process has gotten easier. There have been so many experiences that have proven this theory right. Deep reflection, often sometime later shows the pathways that have got to here.
I giggle as I think of some of the comments such as rainbow riding, dreamer, woo woo, even people saying I’m in lala land or losing the plot. That I don’t care anymore or I am a bit crazy. Daring to choose me or be different is challenging for those that haven’t. Audacity to not conform and walk to a different beat.
Allowing things to play out how they need to, exposes those with ill intention, gives time for things to align and fall into place. Trusting and believing that which ever way I choose will inadvertently be the right way for that time. There is no wrong way they just may have different lessons that will all make sense eventually.
I think that maybe is exactly what it is - we don’t need to understand or make sense of it as it happens as it will make itself clear in reflection. We just need to step into what ever is laid in front of us. Maybe the path changes as we evolve and change, continuously refreshing? Maybe the concept that there is only one path is absolutely not true. Who knows!
Being in this space of waiting for the next steps is testing but I know it will happen exactly how it’s meant to. Do we actually trust or just when someone is watching? Hmmm
