TRUST is my secret weapon

Many business owners I know can lovingly be described as “control enthusiasts”. We know what we want and how we want to get there. 

What if that’s not the only way to be successful? Or even the best way?

My favorite learning from walking the Camino de Santiago is learning to trust that things will always work out beautifully. On one of my days, I seriously considered starting two hours later than planned so I could stop at the grocery store to buy some fresh fruit & vegetables (every vegetable I’d been served was deep-fried and I craved something healthy). After going back & forth with myself, I said “Trust that this will work out fine - just get walking!” 

Wouldn’t you know it, I came upon A FOOD TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. A random food truck, parked in a field, loaded up with yummy, freshly-made hummus, cut veggies, fresh juices and fruit. I would’ve been happy with a single carrot. Instead, I got a bounty.

It’s fascinating that whenever I truly lean into trust, things work out even better than I could have imagined. It’s like I’m the limiting factor in my daydreams and the universe is showing me all that’s truly possible. 

Funny enough, I completely forgot about this as we put our house on the market. 

I forgot that once I’ve done all I can do, it’s time to release it into the hands of a more powerful being than myself and trust that it will all work out beautifully. 

The past week has been a painfully emotional time, filled with frustration and some anger. Not quite the mindset I want to be in as I offer my house to the world. 

So yesterday I let go. I released my grip on the outcome I want. I did some powerful meditation. 

Does it surprise you that we’ve since had 5 more showings and received our first offer? Of course not 😁

Lesson (re) learned: trust trust trust trust. Then trust some more.
