The Art of Trusting the Process!
Nikki Anderson
Do you ever find yourself losing sleep over whether things in your life are going to work out?
Whether it’s a relationship that you’ve been investing time and energy into for the past year or a business deal that could net a great sum of money…there are periods, sometimes brief, sometimes not where you are left in a space of ‘not knowing’.

Panic or Trust the Process to Improve Your Life
It is in this space that you can choose to either panic or trust the process. For many, myself included, knowing how something will turn out gives a sense of security and confidence.
But really, how do we ever really know how something will turn out? Why is it that there are some circumstances in life where we have more confidence in the outcome and others we are forced to have faith?
Confidence and Experience Build Trust in the Process
I believe we all have areas in our lives where we are more confident in our abilities. We have accumulated enough experience to trust ourselves and the process. And there are other areas where our experience is limited or we are more stunted in spiritual maturity.
For example I know some people who have very little fear when it comes to finding well paying employment. Yet they are constantly fretting over not having a partner in their lives and have very little faith they will ever find their match. For others it’s the opposite.
There are places of less confidence and less ‘knowing’ for each person. I believe this is because, as one friend put it, “if we knew the answers to everything we’d never have to ask for help.” And, if we never had to ask for help from one another or from our spiritual guide we’d miss the opportunity to grow.
Not Knowing is Thrilling to Children
Small children move through the world not knowing. In fact they wake up each day not knowing what will happen and it thrills them…they stay curious and in wonder. Maybe there is something for us to learn from children. Perhaps it’s to stay curious, open and intrigued by what life brings us.
We do have a choice…to be in fear and panic OR trust that something much bigger is at work and in the end it really will ALL work out! Maybe not the way we picture it, but it will ALL work out.

[...] I think, is this what I’m meant to be doing or is there something else that would give me MORE satisfaction? Maybe I don’t get a deal I want, a client ends their contract with me…, or I am simply not feeling ‘it’ that day. Depending on many factors, this can either feel fine and natural as the cycle of life / business, OR it can feel bad and even devastating, leaving me questioning everything. [...]
