Change is inevitable yet it can’t be forced.
We all need to grow but each person does so at their own rate.
There may be times in our lives when we wish time would speed up so we can skip over a difficult or challenging chapter.
And there may be times when we wish the clock would slow down so we could have more time with our loved ones or we’re having the time of our lives and we just don’t want it to end.
I’ve spent a lot of my own life being frustrated at my perceived stagnation, desperately wanting things to move forward, for my life to “begin” as I measured myself against my peers who seemed to be moving on, growing up and achieving success in a way that I wasn’t.
And even on my healing journey there were times when I was trying to force a breakthrough, operating from the belief that I was broken and needed to be fixed ASAP.
Society, our families and institutions can all condition us to believe that there is a specific or optimal timeline we should be living by.
E.g. Buying a house by 30
Kids before age 40
Retirement by 70
But I believe in a creator and I believe in divine timing and as such I believe that we’re all uniquely crafted and designed to find our own path. Our soul came here on a mission to EXPERIENCE whatever that looks like, whether it’s straightforward or messy.
And to experience we must learn to enjoy the journey rather than hastening ahead to a specific destination.
Another lesson I’ve learnt is that the beauty of life happens when we’re not “trying” to make anything happen.
It’s those moments when we can be truly present and enjoy cuddling the dog in bed.
It’s the laughter and a moment of connection between two friends.
It’s a candyfloss sunset.
A grasshopper that you spy on a wall.
Your partner saying “I love you.”
I leave you with an affirmation I return to often when I need to cultivate a little patience…
“The slower I go, the faster I grow.” ðŠī
