Coastal redwoods in northern California


I went for a hike this morning in the midst of these incredibly tall and wide coastal redwood trees. What an awesome sight. And what I was caught up in was: will the car and all my camera equipment be safe? Since it was raining I didn’t want to bring it with me. After some time the thought came to me: trust spirit/God and enjoy the path. That is such a metaphor for me in my life. I spend so much wasted time on worrying about the “how” instead of just focusing on the “what”; i.e., what I want. In this case, what I wanted was for the car to be safe. I totally don’t have any control over how it’s going to stay safe while I’m on my hike. All I can do is set an intention and trust. Then I can enjoy the path I am on. When I set an intention on some thing or situation I want and then become afraid of it not happening, I am changing my focus to what I don’t want and inevitably attracting more of that; attracting more of what I don’t want. It’s the law of attraction. I have always experienced this in my life. How easy it is to attract what we want if we would only stay focused on it and then take action. I am committed to trusting more in my life.
