But this idea, of course, can be a challenging one to accept. It’s so hard for us to see the magic of what’s unfolding and trust the timing of the universe when we’re still in love with a previous story of what could have been. Imprisoned by the idea of how things were supposed to work out. We so often get stuck in the moment we were wishing for that we don’t allow the beauty of this moment to unfold. Join me in the special solo episode as I expand on what it means to trust life’s timing, embrace the uncertainty and walk the path as it appears. Discover: * The magic in embracing the way things are instead of forcing outcomes * Why we get stuck in frustrating patterns, and what holds us back from creating the life and relationships we desire * The profound benefits of understanding your triggers, learning from past wounds and integrating that knowledge * How the universe conspires to make your dreams come true when you’re brave enough to trust your intuition and leap into the unknown * Why you can’t rush the knowing and got to embrace uncertainty 00:00 Intro 01:20 Life update 03:07 When things don’t work out 05:10 Protective mechanisms 07:14 Growing from your triggers 09:32 Leap, and the universe will catch you 19:00 Stepping into your fullest self-expression 22:45 You’re the one who designs your life 25:16 You’re always in the perfect place Links: * Join me on Mine’d! https://link.mined.app/k03m/markgroves * Sign up for my newsletter here https://mark-groves.mykajabi.com/newsletter * Instagram | @createthelove https://www.instagram.com/createthelove/ * Facebook | @createthelove https://www.facebook.com/createthelove Sponsors: * Cured Nutrition | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at https://www.curednutrition.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at http://createthelove.com/cards
