The Freedom of Trust

Well trying to anyway!

Am I the only one that is a bit of a control freak that has serious trust issues?

For some reason, I have a seriously hard time letting go sometimes. Especially when it comes to business and being creative. There is no way I can continue to grow my business if I don’t give a little.

Stemming from an absolute hate to disappoint, this has become somewhat of a problem. The only way to fix problems is to firstly, identify them, secondly, find a way to resolve them and lastly, do the practical at getting them resolved. Easier said than done in my case! I guess being burned more than once makes you cautious, perhaps a little to cautious. Human nature is to learn from mistakes and stop them from happening again, unless you are stupid of course.

Our company is growing!

Yes this is great – it really is. But that means I have to trust that others will be able to do things as well as I do. (okay that sounds really arrogant – not intended.) Our clients have come to expect excellence and if we deliver anything less it would be a disaster. But in order to grow you need to trust. Just like a seedling extending it’s roots into the soil and growing new leaves to capture the sunlight. So too we need to trust in our foundation because it is solid. We need to trust in our surroundings because we are, were we are, because we are great at what we do. We need to allow ourselves to bask in the freedom of growth and enjoy every second of it!

Yes I am choosing to be free!

To have the freedom to trust, to let others have the freedom to grow, just as I need to grow into the next phase of my life. I believe that people have far more potential than most recognize and I am going to trust in that potential and help others grow.

I feel better already! :^)
