Trust the path

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗜 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿.

We took my car, and he was driving.

After we finished work, we suddenly realised something…

Neither of us had the car keys!!

I thought he had them.

He thought I had them, as I usually do when we take my car.

That meant only one thing…

𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳!

As we walked back to the parking lot, I noticed my mind starting to imagine worst-case scenarios.

What if someone took the car? What if something happened?

But when we arrived, the car was still there.

Unlocked, untouched.

And sure enough, the keys were sitting right in the cup holder.

𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥.

In that moment, it reminded me how often we create unnecessary stress in our minds.

We worry, we replay scenarios, we try to control outcomes.

𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨!

If we had spent that time stressing and panicking, it wouldn’t have changed anything.

It would only have stolen our peace.

For me, this felt like a gentle reminder, and maybe it’s one for you too.

Life doesn’t always ask us to hold tighter.

Sometimes, it asks us to trust more.

When we stop trying to control every outcome, we create space for things to unfold in ways we couldn’t plan or predict.

𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙.

Trusting the journey and believing that you are being guided, even when the path isn’t fully clear yet.

If you’re someone who feels the need to manage everything, to stay alert, to be prepared for the worst, maybe this is your invitation to soften a little.

You might be surprised by how much support is already around you.

So here’s a gentle question to sit with today:

𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙜𝙤 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪? 🩷
