& What If We Trusted?

I had a plant I was very fond of. I’d had it for eons. I went abroad and in my absence, it withered & dried.
I felt that all the effort I’d put into growing that foliage had been wasted. Grief for an old friend was attached to this plant so it was a double blow……..
I hacked it back to within an inch of its life & let go of it – not a little resentfully.
Two years on, my plant (astoundingly!), flourishes. She is glossy and vibrant and compact but probably stronger for her re growth….
& as humans we also need this process. When we feel as though we are stuck, or dried up of all nutrition, or abandoned or not good enough…. What we need is trust…. 
Trust in ourselves, trust that we belong to something bigger than ourselves and that the universe is noticing, trust enough to keep open to the new possibilities she passes our way……
Sometimes we must prune ourselves right back to our very core, to reconnect with our life force, to really know what our core values and priorities are, to take the ‘right’ next step, that will have us stronger & more vibrant.
When we feel ourselves wilting we have a choice. We can shut down and plough on regardless … for a while….. 
Or we can trust that we feel this way for a good reason, keep listening and risk opening ourselves up to new possibilities …..
