Lewis Howes on why surrendering to life's timing matters more than forcing outcomes. He argues that alignment and trust in a higher self beat hustle culture, and that self-compassion when you fall short is part of the process.
Trust the timing of your life. That is simply it. Sometimes I try to play God and I'm like, well, I know best and it needs to work out this way. And if it doesn't work out this way, then it's wrong. No, I firmly believe when you surrender to the timing of your life, magic unfolds. Magic happens. I have seen it when I've released the reins, when I've said, okay, I'm co-captain, I'm still on the ship, but you've got a better plan than me. Higher self, God, like, take over. And there's such a relief in that. And I've really been trying to embrace that. And I really believe the next 10 years of my life is because I'm in alignment. I'm doing all the right things. I know it. I'm doing my best every day, trying to. And when I don't, you know, I apologize and, and I try better next time. But now I think the next phase of my life is really trust the timing of my life. And I'm really going to try to challenge myself more, do more things that scare me, and really be okay being more visible. And, and by that I mean not being afraid of world perception or what people think of me. I feel like that is not what's tying me down. I just feel like there's gonna be so much freedom and just being like, okay, I did this, let's see what happens.
