Trust is the process of allowing what IS, to be what it IS.

It means letting go of control and expectations. It means being relaxed enough at any moment to take effective action when needed or do nothing when that is most helpful. Trust is an awareness that there’s no need for anxiety about whatever happens because it’s all part of the journey of life.

Let’s consider the word: process. It is a path through something, not the destination. To believe something good will come from the frustrations, such as a learning experience.

So, if you take the simple words, ‘trust the process,’ you get the idea that no matter what comes along, the process will teach you what you need to learn if you are willing to listen, pause, and believe something good will come out of the chaos.

The process doesn’t mean it’s easy.

It means you’ll gain a more prosperous, fuller experience by allowing life to happen without controlling the outcome of attempting to control the end result.
