Expect things to work out, not as you want and or as you planned. But in a way that was always meant to be for you.
I’m starting to recognise how important it is to live life with faith, hope and trust. There is no way that one can control the future and even when you’re under the illusion that you get to have some form of say, it is only a matter of time before something unexpected happens. Once you understand this to be true and accept your role in life, you won’t try to resist all the things that are not going your way and you won’t have to entertain the thoughts that don’t serve you.
But there is a lot of practice that is required and this is a daily effort, because as humans we are inherently prone to forgetting. Forgetting the why behind our motivations and the what behind our decision. Eventually you find yourself in a place where you no longer anticipate good things for yourself, instead you search for patterns that have become familiar to you. Seek and you shall find. But what if you no longer pay attention to the patterns that have been formed based on your past and instead, search for new designs that can ignite your future?
There is a lot of trust, faith and hope that goes into the process of living a life that is faced with uncertainty and there are still so many of us out there who are faced with many uncertain scenarios. I have gotten into a habit of focusing on the tasks and not outcomes, I was too close to the trees and not the forest. But I was reminded of how important it is to maintain your helicopter view of the forests by remembering what the overall outcome you’re trying to achieve is. At the end of the day whatever vision you’ve painted for yourself that’s going to drive and influence the behaviours and narratives that will get you there. Most of which is unconscious and subtle, hence why it’s not the same thing as trying to control the situation.
So, expect good things for yourself. Desire the best of any situation and focus on how things can be wonderful. Don’t worry about the detail and or even the how, just set the right intentions for yourself and your experiences.
Trust that you deserve good things.
Hope for things to turn out wonderfully.
Have faith that there is something out there that has nothing but love for you.
Practice daily and eventually you will start noticing how much smoother it can all be.
Love Always,
