My life has changed fairly drastically as of late, and perhaps the most important lesson I’ve learned through it all, is this:
Sometimes life doesn’t give you what you want, not because you don’t deserve it, but because you deserve more. 🙌🏻
.
It’s hard for me to trust the process, let alone surrender, because the truth is, I am a lover, but I’m also a fighter—especially when I feel strongly about something. 👊🏻
.
As much as I practice going with the flow, I still constantly find myself white-knuckling the reins and futilely trying to control different people and parts of my life—without realizing that the feeling of control is often only an illusion, and I never even had any in the first place. 🤷🏼♀️
.
All the better this way anyway. It’s in the moments, when I’m reminded that I can’t control, but must trust, that I find myself growing the most. 🌱
.
If you would have asked me 6 months ago where I’d be today, my answer would never have been where I am now. Most things would have been different, but that’s not how they happened. 🤷🏼♀️
.
Yet as I write this, I find myself living a life I had never expected, feeling passionate about the environment in ways I never have before, working harder than I’ve ever worked before (@findtap), but also enjoying my life more than I have in a long time. 🙌🏻🙏🏻
.
Plans for your life are only just that: plans…and I’m learning not to be so attached to how I think my life should or will look in the future. 😃
.
Here’s to trust. Here’s to holding the reins a little more loosely, and focusing on enjoying the ride instead. 💗
.
Do you go with the flow? Or do you white-knuckle the reins like me? 🙈
