No need to be perfect, just need to have perfect faith.  There was no coincidence in those signs I spoke about yesterday.  There was absolutely a reason why the universe confirmed my thoughts and assuaged my fears.  It’s because I was exactly where I needed to be when those signs came and I needed to let go of fear and trust.  That’s how we move forward.  We need to trust the signs, our instincts, enough to move from what we know and into what we are meant to do.  We will never know all the answers but we need to know that we are capable of whatever comes our way.  That’s all faith is.  It isn’t seeing the other side or seeing the entire path.  Rather, it’s seeing where we need to go and filling in the gaps along the way until the way is clear.  That vision, the result we are looking for should be sharp in focus, but how we get there isn’t always clear.  Ther are lessons we may need to learn that we have no clue about until we start the journey, and it’s only through the journey that we learn them. 

The goal can’t be perfection because we have no idea what we are perfecting until we take the steps to get there.  I’ve spent a lot of time curating a life that I thought other people wanted to see.  I was an absolute wreck even though on the outside it looked like I had things together.  It was a life that other people wanted, it wasn’t necessarily what I wanted.  I filled my home with other people’s things, grateful to have them, but I never took the time to curate my own style.  I felt guilty every time I brought something in that was mine alone. I’ve learned that guilt is a huge sign to the universe that we aren’t ready for what we say we want, especially if it is the very thing we want.  We have to be willing to accept it and that means accepting it as it is when we get it—and knowing that when we get it is the exact right time for it.   

It’s about trusting that we are always at the right place at the right time.  There has been a lot that was thrown off schedule this year and it scared me a bit because going into the new year, I like to think that I have a plan that all will turn out—and for me that means that it goes according to that plan.  So when things are already off course, it seems like it may not go that way.  Instead, it’s an opportunity to realize that even though it looks different, it is still exactly how it needs to be.  It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be what it is.  Our job isn’t to seek perfection like I said, it’s to go with it and have faith that all is well.  Knowing it’s exactly how it needs to be and that we are equipped to handle anything that comes our way.  It isn’t easy, but when we have faith we know that whatever comes our way is meant to be.
