Trust

When it comes to my life I’ve often found that there are plenty of moments that make you question things.

From questioning yourself to questioning others there are going to be times when your own mind races ahead like a freight train unable to stop.

There are a few tricks I’ve learnt over the years to deal with these things - for example I used to beat myself up over being unable to stop my thought process and go to sleep, cognisant of the impact that a poor night’s sleep could have on my next days output.

But the thing is—no matter what level of energy you have the next day—you only ever have 100%. Some days, that 100% is much lower than on others. So, if that’s the case, why add extra stress or anxiety by worrying about it?

I often think about the word ‘surrender’ not in the sense of giving up on things or what I want, but realising that for many things in life it’s not about ‘if’, but ‘when’.

With this in mind, why shouldn’t I surrender myself to the power of trusting in the work, in putting in the time and that no matter what happens I’m blessed to be able to experience it all.

It’s taken a journey for me to get here and we’re all at different stages in this journey but much like my children can feel less anxious knowing that Daddy and Mummy have their backs, I feel the same way from a theocentric view, placing ‘God’ as the centre of the world that guides me.

Trust is a powerful thing. It takes time to build—fragile at first, but with care, it becomes strong and adaptable. I’ve learned that trusting in the process, in my work, and in something greater than myself has brought me peace. What about you? What do you trust in, and how has it shaped your journey?
