How to let go of control and believe you’re exactly where you’re meant to be?
Do you ever feel like you should be further ahead in life? Like you missed an opportunity that could’ve changed everything? If so, take a deep breath — you’re not behind. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Learning to trust the timing of your life is one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make. It’s how we align with divine timing, attract opportunities that fit our energy, and manifest the life we truly deserve.
When we’re not where we think we “should” be, it’s easy to feel frustrated or even lost. But sometimes the delay is protection. The Universe may be rearranging things behind the scenes — preparing people, places, and opportunities that are better aligned with who you are becoming.
I remember feeling this way in my own life. I used to model and act, and there was a point where I felt I should’ve been further ahead. I compared myself to others and even thought maybe I’d missed my moment. So, I stopped for a while.
But with time, reflection, and self-growth, I realized that pause was part of my journey. It gave me the space to grow into the version of myself who could handle bigger blessings. When I trusted my timing, everything began to flow again.
Eventually, I returned to modeling and acting — and guess what? I won a modeling walk-off, booked a commercial, appeared in a movie as a background actor, and later landed another commercial. None of that would’ve happened if I’d forced things before I was ready.
✨ The takeaway: If something hasn’t happened yet, it’s not because you failed — it’s because your spirit is being prepared for what’s next.
Trusting your timing means surrendering control. It means replacing frustration with faith. Here are a few ways to strengthen your trust in divine timing:
a. Release the “shoulds”
The word “should” is heavy with comparison. “I should be married by now.” “I should have my dream job.” “I should be further ahead.” When you release the “shoulds,” you create space for the Universe to surprise you.
b. Stay in alignment
Keep doing what feels good. Stay close to your purpose, even when progress feels slow. When you live in alignment — through self-care, positive thoughts, and gratitude — the right opportunities find you naturally.
c. Take inspired action
Trusting the timing doesn’t mean sitting still. It means showing up daily, following your intuition, and taking small, consistent steps. As I always say, God moves when we move. When you act with intention, the Universe responds.
When I started trusting my timing, something beautiful happened: I stopped trying to control everything. I began to have fun doing what I love. And by letting go, the Universe met me halfway.
When you’re in a joyful state, you’re magnetic. You attract experiences that match your energy. If you’re constantly worrying, you block that flow. But when you relax, laugh, and have fun — you open the door to abundance.
So dance more. Laugh more. Create without pressure. Say yes to things that make your soul happy.
✨ Because when you let go, you allow life to unfold beautifully — in ways better than you ever imagined.
We all go through moments when we feel stagnant or unsure. Instead of thinking, “Why am I not there yet?” try asking:
Sometimes, your “waiting season” is your growth season. The quiet moments are where your confidence, clarity, and self-love strengthen — so when the opportunity does arrive, you’re ready to receive it fully.

You’ll know you’re aligned when:
These are indicators that you’re in flow — and that divine timing is at work.
If no one’s told you this lately: you’re not late, behind, or missing out. You’re growing, learning, and aligning with your purpose. Every detour, delay, and pause has meaning.
So the next time you catch yourself wondering, “Why isn’t it happening yet?” — remind yourself: It’s happening exactly when it’s supposed to.
Trust your timing. Have faith in your journey. And never stop showing up for the life you want.
You are already manifesting every single day — with your thoughts, your words, and your actions. So why not be intentional about it?
Start believing that every step, even the slow ones, are leading you somewhere beautiful. You are co-creating with the Universe, and she’s never late — just aligning everything perfectly for your arrival.
💫 Repeat after me:
I trust the timing of my life.
Everything is unfolding for my highest good.
I am exactly where I’m meant to be.
