Retrospective Trust

That whole hindsight/20-20 stuff is truly quite remarkable. We find ourselves landing on our feet, and when we look back, it makes complete sense. Everything that had to take place. Everyone that had to cross our paths. It all had to happen to get us from Point A to Point B. But between the two points, we find ourselves in a vortex of self-doubt, fear, anxiety, depression, skepticism, etc.

And then it happens again. Things start to shift. We are fearful. We get through it. We say, “Wow! All is well. Makes complete sense.”

We do it again, but the emotion might be anxiety this go ‘round.

We do it again. This time we might be angry.

We do it again. Well, you get the picture.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Next time consider trusting in the process. You’ll save emotional mileage for when you really have that ‘Oh S#@T’ kinda day, week or month.
