STOP. LOOK. LISTEN.

Updated: Jun 29, 2025


Everything happens for a reason…


BUT!


What do I mean by the… but?


Well, you see. Life is continually steering us ON course.


It is ‘never’ any other way ~ no matter how much we may believe that we’re at times a victim.


An example could be receiving a speeding ticket.


Is this really some sort of control or is it Life that is reminding us to slow down.


It IS the latter of course!


So where is the BUT?…


Well… do we now stop, take note of this and change… or, after a while, do we let things slide ~ resulting in yet another ticket or perhaps worse! ~ later down the line.


If we aren’t conscious to the fact that Life IS always looking after us, that Life IS always in favour of our INward journey, we can blindly continue as we were.


What other examples of this can we notice throughout our days?


Perhaps we acted detrimentally in a relationship leading to being dumped… only to realise we lost something great.


Perhaps there was a health scare and we needed to change some things but didn’t listen to our body or advice given…. this leading to an even worse outcome or additional symptoms.


Perhaps we dismissed those red flags in relationship only to spend far too long attempting to change the ‘other’ ~ rather than looking INward at what behaviour we are accepting… and even further we may go on to ignore those signs again and again.


It is important to recognise that none of this is here to punish us or to beat ourselves up for those “failings”…


None of this is here for us to look backward with regret.


BUT…


What we do NOW is slow down and NOTICE going forward.


Be curious as to where Life is stopping us in our tracks to realise and recognise.


To be conscious to the fact that Life knows more than we do.


“There are no mistakes”…


Yes this is true, however this can often be used as an excuse not to change from within, not to trust FULLY in Life and to believe that we know better.


This 'lazy' way of viewing it actually causes further exhaustion.


You see?


It does not have to take years or multiple unconscious mistakes, heartache and stress.


Can we STOP, LOOK, LISTEN and notice that Life is always steering us back ON course.


Can we let go of looking backward and start right here, right NOW.


Now that we KNOW the truth 🙏🏻
