It's very hard for me to have faith, to trust in the Universe that everything will work itself out. Faith that I am on the right path. And faith to just let go of the needing to know what the future will look like, how I should get something done, what specific steps I should be taking. It's hard for me to let go of that power to need to know all the answers right now.
Oh I try, I try really hard. Sometimes it works, sometimes... not so much. But its a lot more comforting to believe that I am right where I am supposed to be at this exact moment in my life, at this exact minute in my day.
However, I struggle with the idea of trusting that this is where I am supposed to be vs. striving to be a better person, to learn, to grow. By believing that where I am at in my life is right, does that keep me complacent? Does that hold me back from following my dreams or living a life of passion? Does it make someone stay in bad relationship, unfulfilling job, or a deep bout of depression?
I don't know the answer. But I feel like when I live each moment as it is - the ONLY important moment now, the only time that matters, I give myself space to be where I am at. And it is with that space that I gain clarity on my life, I gain clarity on my self, and gain clarity on where I should be going.
I'm a generation X-er, so I want things NOW - everything at my fingertips the second I need it. But that's not how life is. Life is a journey. It is through the journey that we gain the strength we need, we build our confidence, and we embrace the opportunities that the Universe presents to us each day.
Happy journeying, and remember to have faith.
