Trust, Faith & Kneading Dough
Distrust, anxiety and worry are not what you think
This is an article I know I have to write.
Who is in distrust, feeling anxious and worrying? Because I’m writing this for you.
Distrust, anxiety and worry are derivatives of fear. And fear is the town crier of bad news that creates collapse, a vicious cycle of mentally based fact finding, second guessing and doubting self, loads of monkey chatter and at worst resignation.
But, are the stories that fear is telling us accurate? Because as I’ve said before ‘when you’re in your head you’re dead’.
If you’re locating yourself in your mind those stories will eventually be proven right. You’re not enough and how could you ever think you were? You were in denial, how did you think you could pull that off? It’s evident the universe has different plans for you, so just give up. Unfortunately this is where most people orientate from.
Perspective is everything, however.
Dependant upon what sits behind that perspective, whether that is fear or love, perspective will either kill or grow your spirit.
The intention of this article is to grow your spirit.
And so here’s a plot twist.
What if distrust, anxiety and worry were not about not being good enough or powerless to transform that undesired reality, but were instead signposts for an impending breakthrough?
What if this breakthrough was so unimaginably good that you could never have predicted or expected it?
What if distrust, anxiety and worry were designed to keep you on your toes, not out of fear but to grow your spirit?
Evidence of this perspective is all around me. From misaligned choices hijacked by the ego, to commentary given creating derailment, to unpredictability and uncertainty to……a reality of supreme synergy and synchronicity bringing dreams they never knew they had, opportunities so good that were never in the plan, much bigger visions that will create so much positive impact, to being cancer free, and feelings of peace, calm and wonderment.
This has been the process I’ve been witnessing. And each person experiencing all this goodness had well and truly experienced distrust, anxiety and worry in a major way.
Just yesterday I sat in the sun with a friend who had a weekend of feeling these emotions. I shared the perspective above along with the following.
When you trust the process, the process will trust you back.
When you trust in the vision, the vision will trust you back.
The process requires you to become more free.
When you’re more free your capacity to love grows.
When your capacity to love grows new vision arrives.
I then told him that it’s because he’s a powerful man, that this greater capacity to love has a home in him. And that is why he is going through what he is going through. His spirit is growing.
It’s those with capacity who are being called to make their lives bigger than the resolution of problems.
I get it though. In our humanity it’s hard being on this side of the equation when the bigger picture hasn’t revealed itself yet.
For those of you for whom I wrote this article, let me remind you of the following.
Firstly, in our world of relativity, we cannot experience faith without fear.
Secondly, if you’re doing the work and taking responsibility, trust in you that you’ve got your own back.
Thirdly, just like kneading dough, ‘trusting the process’ requires commitment, personal agency, will and patience to allow the dough to rise and become the most delicious experience, after all.
And fourthly, let go.
I’ve been kneading dough around a new vision that arrived because I raised the stakes and my capacity to love has grown. This vision allows me to be of service to more people outside of my 1 on 1 coaching.
