Threee weeks ago I planted my garden. Last week, I finally saw the sprouts of beans, Swiss chard, beets and lettuce. With time it will begin to look like the photo (taken last year). For now, I need to trust that the earth, sunlight, water and seeds will do their magic and produce something awesome.

Life is like that – plant some seeds, nourish them, trust the process and … celebrate the results. In this world of “Instant”, often we can’t hold a vision long enough for it to manifest. We get frustrated waiting for the results we are so certain should come quickly. When things don’t happen on our preferred timetable, we wonder if we made the right decision.

A Course in Miracles says “Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait; and to wait without anxiety.” When we know we are living a life of meaning, we can trust that everything will unfold as it should. I often quote Louise Hay’s Right Time, Right Space to remind myself that I don’t own or control time. Life, relationships, events will emerge and evolve in rhythm with the universe. I can complain about what I think is wrong with that plan or I can embrace whatever comes along, knowing I am part of a greater system of organization. Choosing from that place, is liberating.

Doubt is the greatest barrier to success; Belief in yourself, the most powerful tool you will ever have to accomplish your goals. Plant your seeds and let the process begin.
