Trusting the Journey

"The Universe is conspiring in our favor, always and in all ways, despite circumstances and appearances or, most importantly, our perception of it." - Neal Donald Walsch in Conversations with God movie

Each and every moment is perfect, just as it is.

At all times, your journey is unfolding perfectly for your deepest learning, growth and expansion.

And the Universe is always delivering the perfect experiences and opportunities for you to cultivate and strengthen those qualities that you want to more fully express in your life.

Essentially, you are continuously engaged in a splendid process of co-creation.

As you take in the above declarations, what are you noticing within? Where are you with REALLY believing that you are divinely supported? If you were to visualize a spectrum ranging from complete disbelief and denial to unwavering faith and resonance, where do you see yourself? I am curious as to how you would describe your willingness to embrace each moment and experience as a gift, to embody trust that all of it is an essential part of your unfolding.

And most importantly, how is your perspective serving you?

As you ponder these questions, I want to offer a closer look at what exactly is happening when we come from a place of NOT trusting that all is unfolding perfectly, when we are immersed in judging our journeys.

Pure and simple, we are getting absolutely lost in our heads. We are analyzing, obsessing, micro-managing, forcing, pushing, resisting. We are making it more complicated. By judging WHAT IS or WHAT IS NOT, we are holding ourselves at a distance from our own life experiences, thereby diminishing the richness of our journey. We are not living in the NOW, not truly present in our lives.

Attachment to our one idea or vision of how things "should" be unfolding is blocking the flow. Rigid thinking and the associated feeling of anxiousness is creating turmoil. As a result, instead of being open to the opportunities and possibilities that surround us, we find ourselves closed down to the magic of the moment. In essence, we are stuck in resistance, unavailable to the FLOW.

Ultimately, we are disconnecting from our foundation that we are meant to enjoy...the foundation which assures us that, indeed, ALL IS WELL.

If you often find yourself doing battle with the above, I want you to understand without a shadow of a doubt that you don't have to struggle in this way. You absolutely do not. The power of this conversation lies in recognizing that you always have the option of making a new choice. At any moment, you can choose to step out of fear and resistance and step into the energy of trust and allowing.

Given this truth and the freedom that you possess, I want to now take a closer look at what it is like to shift into this energetic space of trust. What exactly is happening when you are practicing deep trust in the perfection of your process?

As you choose to stay centered in this life-giving energy, you are remarkably receptive to ALL the amazing paths and possibilities. You are diving into an even richer experience with a solid understanding and respect for the fact that it has been custom designed for you to foster the most abundant growth and transformation. You are practicing tons of curiosity and flexibility. Feeling good and enjoying an empowered stance in your life are top priorities as you acknowledge the goodness that emerges from this choice, both for yourself and others. You are relaxed and consciously choosing to focus on what nurtures your spirit.

Gratitude and appreciation fill your heart, creating a refreshing sense of lightness and ease. You are greeting the unknown as a delicious place of discovery. Growth is always the goal. Staying grounded is simple as you savor the KNOWING that you are generously supported, no matter what. You are wide open to all the lessons of your unique journey, and you are receiving the extraordinary blessings that come in all sorts of unexpected ways. You are radiating peace.

Now that we have explored the dramatically different foundations we can create for ourselves depending on the perspective we choose and the degree of trust that we are willing to extend, I invite you to remember the incredible importance of your choice. How might your life be different if you released all judgment and committed yourself to being 100% rooted in trust? And please, do not allow fear or saboteur voices to convince you that it must be more complicated than simply choosing. It is not.

Be willing to experiment. Try on a deeper level of trust and see how it feels. Pay close attention to how your perspective impacts your journey. Trust that Source is your loving, compassionate partner in the process. And give yourself permission to let it be easy.
