LET GO AND TAKE THE RIDE:

THE POWER OF TRUSTING THE JOURNEY

Trust your dreams, your heart, and the journey of life . . . even when you don’t understand it.

Some people get so caught up in the destination that they miss that life is about the journey. They’re so focused on the finish line that they miss that the beauty is in what and who you become on the way to the destination. I’ve received so many blessings in disguise in the form of health scares, people passing away, breakups, breakdowns, and so much more; and the thing that has supported me most is trusting in the journey. There is always more than meets the eye in every situation; and when we trust and have faith that all is well, even when it doesn’t appear to be, we open ourselves up to new possibilities that we can apply in our lives.

When we trust the journey of life, wholly and completely, we don’t need to know what is unfolding or why; we simply need to be present to the experience of it. Trusting the journey means that even if we don’t understand what’s unfolding right now, we have an unshakable belief that it’s happening because circumstances are rearranging themselves for our highest good. It means knowing that for every door that closes, a window of opportunity opens. I’ve noticed that many people get so down about the front door’s slamming in their face that they miss the open window and the back door that swung open at the same time.

Ever since my house

burnt down,

I see the moon more clearly.

—from the movie Ashes and Snow

Sometimes it’s not until we’ve had it all taken away that we truly understand what it means to have faith. In those moments, standing metaphorically naked and vulnerable, we’re forced to surrender to what is so that we can allow the journey to unfold as it needs to. Sometimes certain people or circumstances aren’t meant for our lives, and we often don’t realize it until we look back, years later. When we trust the journey, we can rest assured that every breakdown is a catalyst for a breakthrough.
