Episode description

Hi my loves 🦋 In today's episode were diving deep into why God (or the universe) is moving mountains for you, even when it doesn't look like it. It's easy to get wrapped up in your current reality, reacting to challenges instead of trusting that everything is unfolding in divine timing. But real faith means holding your trust, surrendering control, and allowing things to shift- even when they look chaotic. We've been so conditioned to fear the unknown, but what if learning to trust actually feels better than consistently trying to control everything?

Today I'm sharing:
✨ Why we struggle with trusting and how control is a false sense of security.
✨ How to shift your focus from fear to faith and think from your higher self.
✨ What I do while waiting for god/the universe to move mountains for me.

If you're feeling stuck, impatient, or overwhelmed by your current circumstances, this episode is a reminder that things are shifting for you in ways you can't even see you yet- trust, let go, and allow.

Speaker 1

Hi everyone, and welcome back to their podcast episode. My name is Lisha Gogin, the host of the Globe Secrets podcast, where I help you expand your mind and become more self awares that you can glow up into the best version of yourself. Hello, how are we doing? I hope everyone is doing great. Whenever you listen to this episode, I think this is going to be an episode that I just post randomly. That is mainly because I didn't

even plan this video. This morning, I was having a nice little journal session and I thought, you know what, this would be great to bring to the podcast. So I want to just share a little reminder and a message. When it comes to trusting the universe or trusting God, I use those two interchangeably. I like to try and be inclusive. Not everyone necessarily belasing God. Some people are spiritual religious. That's just what I'm going to use. And today I'll probably speak in the form of God aka Him.

But there has always been so many times in my life where I have had to really put trust in the unknown. My life was looking a mess, or if there was just things that I wanted that I did not have yet, and I had to go through this uncomfortable feeling of waiting, of wondering if it's going to happen, of trusting and believing in something that I don't even see, or if I do see something, it is a mess. It is exactly the opposite of what I want. And

I always like to think about mountains. And it's so funny because I brought this example to you guys this time last year, and it's just interesting to see how we are making a full circle moment when it comes to this cycle of really diving more into the spiritual

side of things, especially on the podcast. But there was an episode I was probably talking about letting go and detaching and things of that nature, and I was talking about how you know, when you put out your desires into the universe, or you ask God for things, or you just you're you're waiting for things to change, you really have to understand that God is moving mountains for you.

He is moving mountains for you, but you are forgetting that not only does it take a little bit of time to move a mountain, but sometimes you're gonna see a little bit of mess when you, let's say, ask God to move the mountain that's over here, which is the life that you currently have, or the distress that you're in, or the thing that you want to get rid of. Right, God, please move this mountain. It is I'm distressed over here. I can't be in this location.

It's just I'm attracting too many negative things whatever. I'm not good over here. Can you please move me from A to B or my life from A to be or the situation at hand from A to B. God says, Okay, yes, why because you are a child of Me or the universe. Yes, you create your own reality. Yes, your desires will become, you can manifest you. You are a co creator. Okay, So yes, as soon as you put that desire out

you say that this is what you want. Yes. And as soon as you put those desires out and you're asking for more and you're praying for more, God will start to move that mountain. And what God really just requires of us is to go back and wait and be patient and know that it's coming. I'm moving and I'm moving and I'm moving it. And so what we do is we get uncomfortable with the waiting period. We won't even trust because maybe our connection with God or

the universe is not that strong. Which is understandable. You know, everyone has their connection with the things that you can't actually see, and some people don't at all. But I think that it is definitely helpful to strengthen that connection.

But regardless, we are waiting. You know, there's things that sometimes don't happen in a snap of a finger, and we basically have to wait in the reality that was manifested from the previous version of ourselves or what we have asked for, or even if we did not ask for right like we sometimes we're just handed certain cards and it's just not exactly the way that we want. But it's really going to be up to us to focus in and ask and pray and manifest a new

version of our lives. But right now, maybe it's not exactly the way we want, so we basically have to come back to that life and we kind of have to be patient and trust the process. But what we do, like I said, is sometimes we don't trust because maybe we don't have that relationship. But it can be very

distressing here the in between, the unknown, the silence. Okay, we are trained to not even be okay with not having a lot or not having every single thing handed to us right at this moment, or we see everyone else get all the things right, or everyone else is happy, everyone else has love, everyone else has abundance, and where's mine? And this is not fair? And it could be not fair, right the deck of cards that we got handed, maybe

it's not completely fair. So there's a lot of things that get in our minds, and a lot of the times our minds are also programmed to constantly look for problems and fear because we've come from a long line of trauma, a long line of looking at everything as a threat because maybe it has been so it's understandable. That's been my life. I'm constantly looking, Hey, what's the next problem, what's the next thing? If I don't have it, then oh my gosh, And that means this is the

worst thing ever and I'm not safe. I'm not safe. I'm not safe. So our mind is doing that well. Over here, God is trying to be like, hello, I'm moving the mountain. You don't need to worry, you don't need to be afraid. It is happening, is happening. And then every three seconds we're looking, hey, God, did you move the mountain yet? Did you move the mountain? Yet universe.

Where is my things? Where's my manifestations? And where the big test comes in is that when you think about God moving a mountain or you actually I'm bringing in something material into your life from the spiritual realm. There's a process of creation. Okay, so there's a process of moving that mountain from A to B, which means if you're moving that mountain, there might be some rocks that are falling, there might be some things that don't make sense.

It doesn't make sense. How is he going to move it from A to B? It doesn't make sense. Idologically can't understand it. Or when it comes to manifesting, well, how am I going to get the money or where is it going to come from? Or how is this? How am I going to be out of distress? I just can't see a way out. I can't see a way out. It is not your concern of how it is going to be. So it is not your concern to see how God is going to make it possible to move that mountain from A to B. And this

is the thing. We have a very limited way of being able to even see all that is possible for us. And I think that this sometimes is why. It is good at least for me. And it's helpful to believe in something that's bigger than me, like a higher power, universe, God, because there's just things I can't understand. There are things that I don't even know how. I don't know how to move this mountain from A to B, but I know I need it to be moved. I know that

things need to change. I know that I need more money. I know that I need all of these reasources D da DA, but I don't know how. And that's okay. You don't need to know how. This is just your ego, it's just your fear being. Like I need to know the answer. I have to be the one to be able to move that mountain from A to B. I have to be the one to materialize that thing. No, you don't, you don't. All you have to do is

release control and trust that is happening. And see when you see that mess, when you see things are moving but they're not moving in the right direction. Okay, I ask God to bring me your love and abundance, and I'm getting the opposite. I'm literally getting the opposite. Understand, it's a test. And what I mean by a test is it's a test to see are you gonna respond the same way and then create more of that same thing in your life or are you gonna understand that

it is taking as much time as it's taking. And quite frankly, if you want to bring in that love and abundance is gonna require new version of you, which means you need to respond differently to the things that are currently happening in your life. Can you see it like that? Because when you see it like that, you understand, Okay, you know what. It's messy here. But I'm not gonna mess with the middle. I'm gonna observe the mess. I'm

gonna observe the tests. I'm gonna see how these people, places, and things keep coming to me and it's a half ast version of what I want. And I'm not gonna get super triggered. I'm not gonna go back into my fear based thing and say I'm not getting what I want. See, God isn't listening to me, the universe is not I'm not manifesting, it's not working out. I'm gonna see it for what it is, and you know, sometimes it's a mess.

Sometimes things need to change. People need to move over here, this, that, and the third in order for things to work out the way that we want. Let's not get tied up in it. Let's not use all of our life force energy and pour into this mess that we don't even want anyways, Why are we putting so much focus on the thing we don't want. Let's put focus on what is actually important, which is the belief that God or the universe is moving those mountains and having trust in that,

and what can we do in the meantime. Well, for me, it's about clearing the clutter. It's about clearing the fear based thoughts. I've been talking a lot on the podcast about how your fear speaks loud in first, but it's not the truth of who you are. These limiting beliefs, the self doubt, the doubting in God, doubting in the universe, and doubting that your life could be anything more than it is right now. It's lies. It's lies that have

been taught to you. It's lies that keep you small, even though you have convinced yourself that these lies will actually keep you safe. If I just tell myself that I can actually control the situation, if I tell myself that I know the answer and I can project that this is not going to work out, then I'll keep safe and then I don't have to deal with the disappointment. Round don't have to deal with the rejection or this that. No,

that's just keeping you small. Okay, you are resilient. You can deal with the disappointment sometimes, because really what that is is it's redirection. When things don't work out the way that you had hoped. Okay, well, you know what, maybe there's a different way. Maybe there's a better way that I haven't thought about yet, that's easier and it's more abundant. You just don't know, but you're telling yourself, well, it has to be this way, and you're doing that

to control situations, to try and keep yourself safe. But it's truly a false sense of safety. And you know that even trying to control your life all your life, I'm sure coming back to myself, I've had to There's so many instances in my life where I have had to predict. I've had to try and control. And it's not to say that we have to rid that part of us to try and control certain things. We need

to navigate this material world right here. We can't just like be esoteric, We can't just like always be in this spiritual realm, but we do way more than we need. We need to release that control, We need to believe

and trust in. How you do that is you clear your mind and you understand that a lot of your fear based thoughts, a lot of your micromanaging, is just coming from this sense of I think that I can control the situation, but really you don't actually need to give it to God, give it to the universe, allow it to work out better than you even thought. Wouldn't it be amazing if you actually did not need to assume that you know everything and put all of these

responsibilities on you. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up and know that everything is working out in the background and right now today if you don't have the things that you want, or if you're a little bit distressed, instead of trying to stress yourself out more and trying to figure out how to fix a problem that is not fixable by you, how about trying to operate more

out of love, more out of clarity. How can you start operating more out of flow, out of an intuitive hit, out of a sense of knowing versus waking up and

telling yourself how you should move through the day. And the only way that you're really going to be able to connect with that part of you is if you clear your mind, is if you wake up in the morning and you don't bombard yourself and with all of these to do's and all these things that you need to do or what you think you need to do, or not trusting, have a connection, have a practice with

God or the universe. Right, be silent for a second, allow yourself to breathe, and I promise you things will come. The word of God or the sense of knowing, or this idea, this one idea that might come to you that might have never even come to you if you're

constantly just bombarding your mind. It will come to you, and it might just be that thing that you need to act on, which will then connect you to that manifestation that the universe has been working on, or that God has been trying to get you to see, or that person that you need to connect with in order to meet the love of your life. When you start acting out of a place of love for yourself and others,

out of what would somebody who loves themselves do. What would somebody who trusts in the universe and trusts in God, what would they do today? How would they go through their day? How would they speak to themselves and how would they speak to others? What practices would they do? Would they constantly be ruminating? Would they constantly be searching and checking and wondering and obsessing and ruminating, or would they be regulating their nervous system? Would they be having

a journal practice? Would they stop bombarding themselves with constant information. You don't need any more information, You don't need any more seeking, You don't even need any more fixing. What would the highest version of you do? And for me, the highest version of me that is made in the eyes of God knows her worth, knows that she's worthy of abundance and love and prosperity and a life that

is not filled with depression and anxiety. But it's gonna be up to me to take off those glasses where I'm constantly believing and thinking that I don't deserve it, that I don't get it and everyone else does. And those are pleaefs from childhood. But I have to remember when I have those self doubts, when I believe. Oh, I don't know if I can have it. So I'm gonna start obsessing over this thing, and I'm gonna have to work really hard, and I'm gonna have to just

prove my value constantly. And if I just do this one thing, if I just do this one thing correctly, then that's going to be the thing that No, you've done enough, you're good enough, you're worthy enough. But you have to remind yourself of that. And the more times you start operating from that place, you will see things open up. You will see and be able to trust that you know what this mess here, it's all going away. It's gonna be removed. I don't have to remove it.

God has it for me. And on top of that, that mountain is being moved. And I found this just quote. You guys know, I love a good Pinterest quote, and it says, your faith can move mountains and your doubt can create them. Watch where your focus is. And it's very true. When you have faith in something, when you believe it's gonna happen, when you know, even if you don't see it yet, you will start to create Your thoughts, your beliefs, they create. And the way I like to

look at it. It is very simple. When you think better thoughts, when you believe and you trust, you stop getting tied up in the mess. You get up and you become the best version of yourself, and you act like the best version of yourself, and you keep going despite the trials and tribulations of life. And if you do the things that you need to do, you release your emotions and you show up for yourself, and you do the inner child healing, and you do the things that you

need to do. You don't give up. You know it's coming, and you be patient. You get comfortable with the in between. Not every single thing is gonna be this dopamine kick. It's going to be perfect, it's gonna be whatever. But you don't lose sights versus if you focus on the mess, you keep doubting yourself, you're gonna wake up and you're not gonna try. You're not gonna put yourself out there. Why why would you? You're constantly focused on the thing

you don't want. Well, if you keep doing that, you're not gonna manifest. You're not gonna create because, in my opinion, God, the universe it needs you to co create, It needs you to believe in something. It needs you to get up out of your bread and believe that you are worthy enough to go for your dreams, to go out in life and to communicate and connect with people and see things differently. It requires you to try, It requires

you to fail, It requires you to trust. And again, the more times you operate from that place, that is where you start to create a new reality. Because you are coming in contact with new people, places, and things. You are opening doors for more abundance to come in and more light and more love. That's just what happens. But you can't do that if you're constantly focusing on

the things that are distressing you and staying small. And it's understandable that you would focus on the things that distress you because you are convinced that if you just focus on it, you will be able to change it. But that's not fully true. Okay, It's not to live in delusion and pretend like things aren't happening in your reality that need to be tended to. But the way we tend to tend to them is obsession, is rumination, is thinking that you can even do it all yourself.

You need help, you need faith, You need to remove your attention from those things sometimes. And this is huge for me, and it's hard, but I've been somebody who's just constantly just thought about and obsessed about a thing that I literally can't change. I can't change it, and the only thing that thing needs me to do is to actually just remove my attention for a second, because

I'm actually making myself sick at this point. There's pain over here and now they're suffering, and I'm creating more suffering than I need in my own life and within my own body, and it's not needed. So I need to be strong, and I need to show up as much as I possibly can, and I do not need to be perfect, and I need to have faith in

something that's bigger than myself. And I think for the most part, when you start to have more of a practice of connecting with God, connecting with the universe, releasing control and surrendering, you will find this is actually your natural state. Our natural states are to surrender. Our natural states are to move and flow and to act out of love and to go in the direction of what

feels good. So if we can start moving more a little bit day by day in that direction, we will start to feel more sense of safety in that versus safety in this control that we think that we have over everything when we don't, and it feels so much better to give it to God. It feels so much better to not know the answer. And why that is is because you start to see how you do have a limited perspective on how life could be and how things could be, and there will be a lot more

abundance than you even think. And I think that the more that you show yourself this is possible. By acting out of love and set of fear and connecting more to a higher sense of self or God, whatever you believe in, you'll start to manifest. You'll start to see things come in your life and be like, oh, okay, see things did work out here when I did release control, it did end up working out, and it actually worked

out a lot better than I even thought. And I think some of the biggest things in your life, for the most part, you can look back and say, yeah, I co created. Like for me, I definitely co created, but it still turned out differently than I could have even written. And I think about this when it comes to how quickly I grew on my main channel on YouTube, yes,

I co created. I put in that work, and I believed in myself and it got out of my own way, and I acted out of love versus fear, and I believed and I believed and I believed, and I knew it was going to happen, but I didn't know when. I didn't write down exactly when and where and how, and if I did that, I probably would have been limiting myself. I just trusted and I knew it was going to happen. And you know what, if you look at it from a very uh, I don't know, material based,

logical analytic way. I grew exponentially quicker than typically people would assume you would grow on YouTube. I went from consistently posting one video from April to around end of October in a set year. I think I posted like two vlogs before that, and then consistently I was like, I'm going to post one video a week and I'm going to do the belief work. And I really trusted myself and I was on purpose and I just released and I surrendered. And then come end of October, my

channel started blowing up. And I believe it's because of my belief and it's my co creation, and it's my showing up consistently, and it's my being on purpose. And from the end of October when I started shooting up to the end of the year basically into the new year. By like January February, I already had my one hundred k plaque. That was not that long. But do you think that I really thought that it was going to

be that quick. No. Actually, if you were to ask me if I did have a timeline, and I was very detached from having a timeline because I knew this process, because I had already been more into my spirituality in that whole journey. But if I did, it probably would have been maybe like me, springs, maybe hopefully spring by then I'll have like a decent following this that. Nope, So in my opinion, the best way to continue to move through this life. And we're not perfect. I'm not perfect,

you know. I still try and control things. I have to work on it. I have to take those glasses off. I have to remind myself every day, no, Okay, this is fear, this is love. How do we want to operate? Is this a test? I have to do all of those things. But the more times you do that, you realize I'm safe, I'm protected, and things are going to work out, and they do work out way better than

I even think. But I have to be the one to remind myself that I'm even deserving of the things that I want, because at the end of the day, that is what we're constantly doing. We're constantly striving, we're constantly wanting more, we're constantly looking for safety. Understand that you are safe here, and remind yourself of all the cues of safety that you currently do have. And you're listening to somebody who has gone through a very not so easy life, lots of trauma, lots of unsafety, a

lot of financial insecurity. I lost my father, I recently lost my mom. I've seen things that a child should not have seen, and it really primed my nervous system to constantly look for fear. And even when it comes to my health, lots of chronic illness, a lot of real things that made it so yeah, you should be afraid, but I tried my best and I always do to remind myself, no, no, no, no no no, this is not how my life is going to go. I'm going to move through this, and I'm going to work through this

and I'm going to understand that this is life. Also, you know, we get handed a deck of cards and sometimes things don't work out exactly the way we need or want. But you know what, I still am deserving of this life. But there is going to need to be some release. I'm gonna need to And I think that this happens a lot when you do hit those rock bottoms in your life, and I've hit many of them. But I also do think that it happens when things out of your control are so big that you have

no other option but to surrender. You know, I had no other option but to surrender when I lost my dad. I had to surrender when my mom was going through her addictions. And I really fought that, and that's understandable, and it's like, what else do you do other than fight that? But I created a lot of distress, and I give myself grace and compassion because you're a human being. Of course you're going to fight against the things you

don't want in your life. But I realized me fighting against what was created so much stress that I didn't need, and so much illness and so much weight. Instead of and again I didn't know how, so it's a fine, it's okay, but I learned. But instead of releasing some control and understanding that there's things that happen in your life and even when it comes to the loss of my mom, I mean, that's the biggest surrender that I've had to have and come to right. And it doesn't

mean that I'm not still experiencing grief. I have to feel it and we should. You know, there is a sense of having to fight against things, or allowing yourself at least the want to fight against things, and being like this is not fair. I don't want this. I don't want to feel this or just feeling things. You're human being in a physical human body. Allow yourself to

do that. But after you feel and after you go through those waves, which will constantly happen, because this will happen until you die, there's a sense of coming back to the essence of who you are, and you have to remind yourself of who you are and where you came from, which is that higher sense of whatever you want to believe in God, the universe. And I think that that is what keeps you going and can carry

you as well. Right, Like, it really helps when you're going through grief or you're going through loss or really hard times for you to feel those things, but also to know that God has you right. So you can feel your grief, you can feel sad, and you can feel lost, but it's this overarching sense of being held in a way and still protected even though it's scary here, because it is. Life can be really scary, and it can be more scary when you don't have this belief

in something bigger than you. You don't have this belief that even though the mess is here, God is still moving that mountain from A to B and it's gonna be okay, and it's gonna all work out. So with that said, this is all I wanted to say. This is all I needed to say. I hope this maybe helped resonated with you. It helps me on the times that I'm feeling, you know, a sense of not trusting, a sense of seeing myself act out things that I

know from a place of fear and control. I really try to have a practice of connecting to God every single day, especially now with the loss of my mom. I think heavily it's been deeply more I would say embodied, because I've always been spiritual, I've always connected to something

that's bigger than myself. I've always believed in God. But I do think that coming from somebody who has had to constantly do everything herself and have had the weight of the world on me because nobody was doing it for me, nobody was saving me, nobody was being responsible for me. I had to be that. There comes a level of ease and release and healing when you learn to just give it to God. You don't have to know all the answers, you don't have to figure it

all out. You can't even And this is the thing that like, I think at the end of my twenties, I mean, I'm still twenty nine, I'm turning thirty at the end of the year. But I think that you sometimes, and I'm not saying everyone gets here ever or at this age, but you kind of evolve from thinking that you could possibly know all the answers and you could possibly control everything, And it's really you evolving from your ego.

Your ego is that fear part of you that thinks that if I just do this one thing, if I just have the best practice, if I just do things perfectly. Then then I will be healthy, and then I'll be happy, and then I'll be rich. In this D D D DA DA. It's not to say that you don't want to have belief in yourself and you don't want to act and you don't want to co create. It's not about that, But it's just realizing that you are enough.

You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to take on everything on yourself in order to have the life that you're so desperately wanting. Let God, let the universe, let other people help you. Okay, And I'm talking to myself when I'm saying that, So anyways, I hope you enjoyed. Don't forget. We have a new series on the podcast.
