A client told me a great analogy today about sailing.
They said when one thing goes wrong on a boat, it can quickly set off the next thing… and then the next.
A bit of a domino effect.
And although I’m not a sailor, I totally resonated with the analogy.
Because when you don’t trust yourself, life can start to feel like that too.
You second-guess one decision.
Ignore one little knowing.
Say yes when you mean no.
Stay in something longer than you know you want to.
And one misaligned choice starts feeding the next.
Then the next thing you know, you’re in the middle of the storm of it all, wondering how you got so far off course.
But the beautiful thing is… it works the other way too.
When you trust yourself, one aligned choice tends to lead to another.
You listen.
You adjust.
You honour what you know.
You make the next decision from a grounded place.
And no, life won’t always be smooth sailing.
But when you trust yourself, you’re a whole lot better at navigating the rough water.
You may not control the weather, but you trust yourself enough to steer.
One aligned choice can change the direction of the whole thing. ✨
