Do You Want To Go Faster In Life?
I know that sometimes you just want to go faster.
But everything happens when it is supposed to happen.
And you can't force a flower to bloom.
You will have realisations, meet people, read books, absorb knowledge and have experiences – when it is the right time for you.
Or you could even say: this happens before you are ready but you don’t see it then.
Everything happens in its divine timing.
This happens especially when you stop pushing and stop forcing.
It especially happens when you are surrendering, when you are willing to listen.
It happens when you are the most aligned with what you do and how you live.
But even that will come into your life with divine timing.
It is all learning and all feedback.
I have had so many instances lately of divine timing and it took me a while to see it and I have never even used the words “divine timing”, but when it kept happening – when the synchronicities became so obvious and nearly daily – the words just dropped into my mind.
And the deeper truth to this is that life is about trust.
First of all, trusting yourself.
And then trusting that things will work out for you in the way they are supposed to.
Even the tough times.
Especially the tough times.
Because that’s when we grow the most.
Tough times happen so that you learn the lesson.
If you don’t learn the lesson, it will happen again and again – but maybe in different disguises.
So, one message from me to you today is TRUST.
And LISTEN.
“On the other side of resistance, there is breakthrough” – Alyssa Nobriga.
What does this mean?
It means many things, but for one thing, it means that all parts of you are making you whole and complete.
You are whole and complete – but your thoughts and emotions and feelings are part of that.
Even the “annoying” ones.
When you resist your feelings or your thoughts and you push them away, they will resist and pop up anywhere where they will be experienced by you.
Why?
Because they are aspects of you that want to be seen and loved.
The key is acceptance and compassion.
With yourself most of all.
And when you realise what all the things are that make you you – including your values – that’s when you can set healthy boundaries, too.
You need to know your whole you and your whole worthiness so that you don’t accidentally shut a part of you out by setting the fence in the wrong place.
How much space is it that you are taking up energetically?
How much space do you WANT to take up?
What are your values?
What are your needs and wants and dreams and wishes?
Who are you?
Imagine you know these things about yourself and then you add a whole bucket of trust that things will work out.
What then happens is that you don’t take action and force an outcome and are upset when you don’t achieve that outcome.
Instead, you take surrendered action.
That is the best possible action that you are capable and knowing of at that moment and then you surrender, trusting that the outcome will be of your benefit.
There will be growth and there will be healing in difficult situations and relationships and encounter and in “disappointing” outcomes.
But the outcome is only disappointing when you THINK it’s disappointing.
In reality, it just is what it is, but you make it disappointing by thinking that’s what it is.
But really, it’s just the thought in your mind that makes it disappointing – maybe because it doesn’t align with what you thought would happen or wanted to happen.
But it is what it is – neither good nor bad – and you get to make the best of it.
And you know what you get then?
Peace of mind.
Peace of heart.
Because you stop pushing.
Instead, you slow down and listen.
When you are surrendering with a sense of your own wholeness and a shipload of trust – you find peace.
There is no more rush and no more pressure and no more pushing.
There is also no more following societal norms out of an innocent belief that you need to do that.
Because when you do your inner work, you also question your beliefs – even the core ones.
Yes, there will be sprints in taking surrendered action, but life overall is a marathon, and so, slowing down and taking rest and KNOWING that this is what you need to do simply from biology’s point of view is where you find a sense of peace and even belonging.
I am not talking about being complacent.
I am talking about taking radical responsibility, about knowing thyself, about trust, about taking surrendered action and about setting the right boundaries.
