EP 204: Being OK with Not Knowing Even When You Really Want Answers with Rachael

This episode is about not having all the answers and being OK with it. Today’s caller, Rachael, has always been a planner and likes to be in control. She brings forward great questions and is beautifully coachable. If you are a planner who likes knowing things, overthinks things, and likes to have things figured out, this call may help you to know and trust that the universe has your back.

A lot of you can probably relate to wanting to have answers to all your big questions in life. Honestly, the more we think and try to figure things out, the more confused we get. Because we are in the past, present, and future all at once. True clarity comes when we are in the present — when we are not overthinking.

And, thinking is not a bad thing. Our minds and our problem-solving abilities are beautiful things. But we need to balance our thinking out with some time to flex our faith muscle with spending some time in meditation. Because then we are surrendering into the now — surrendering into the not knowing.

It’s important to have faith that things are going to turn out like they are supposed to. Having faith that you will be shown what you need to be shown when you need to be shown. Having faith that answers will come to you when they need to come. ‘Faith it until you make it’, instead of fake it until you make it. It’s a much more peaceful approach to life.

We think that thinking is going to provide clarity but actually thinking just confuses us more because our thinking isn’t really thinking; it’s reacting.
