Have faith, but tie the camel..
We find this phrase to be quite empowering yet also very calming.
The phrase often invites us to take stock of what it is we have control over, and to take action within what we can control if we needed and wanted to and then to sit back, and trust the process.
This phrase helps us navigate the tension that we can sometimes experience between feeling helpless and also all-powerful over the events in our lives. It invites us to notice how we can balance both action and allowing, no matter what I’m facing.
This phrase could be helpful to you too, no matter what you’re facing in your day - day.
At times it’s difficult to find the perfect balance between taking action and letting — something we’re all often called on to do.
So, take this invitation to consider how and where this phrase could be applied to your life right now to help you better navigate the tension of acting and allowing.
To help you further, here as some more ways you too, can ‘tie up your camel’
Accept responsibility for your life..
The root word of ‘responsibility’ is ‘response’. As a responsible person, it means that you agree to respond to whatever life throws your way. Whenever something happens, our tendency is to focus on the event, and often to instinctively look for something or someone to blame. When you do that, you are not in control of your life.
Try turning your focus inward and ask yourself how you would like the situation to turn out, and accept responsibility for taking the action needed to generate that outcome.
Take ownership of your ‘camel’..
It’s a common mistake to assume that someone else will take care of it, whatever ‘it’ is.
This results in passive living because we’re waiting for ‘the other party’ to initiate change or suggest improvements. The truth is that there is no other party. There is only you. If you don’t, no one else will.
Secure your assets…
Majority of us often focus on financial and material assets, buying insurance for our incomes, our homes and our possessions. These are good assets to have.
More important, however, are your other assets: such as our character, our mind, health, and our relationships. Insure these assets too.
Adopt a mentor or read a book. Exercise for 30 minutes a day to improve your health. Invest in time with the people you love, to protect and nourish your relationships.
For us to have faith is to acknowledge that your actions are never meaningless. Have faith in your process but don’t forget to taking action within what you can control.
The rest will work out..
