Trust?
Trust….what does this even mean? To me it is knowing. Knowing it will all work out from the beginning. Knowing you already have everything you need. Knowing that you are strong enough to take on the world and live your life purpose. Trust is knowing your True Self (spiritual self/Holy Spirit/connection to God/Jesus/connection to the Universe….however you see it) is with you and guiding you onto the path of least resistance. The path that is full of grace and ease.
Most of my life I have been called gullible. From salesmen to commercials, I want to always believe they are a trustworthy source. I am known for trusting people to easy or to early. This is because I never trusted my gut feelings (again True Self) until recently. Society hits us with so many beliefs and “norms” that I never knew where to turn for guidance. Gut feelings and recognizing energetic compatibilies sounded like such a “hippie” idea that I never developed them to their full potential. When I didn’t know my True Self, I didn’t know trust in myself. How could I ever truly trust anyone or anything if I couldn’t even trust myself?
Trusting and knowing my True Self has been the greatest gift I have ever given myself. I can now see, hear and even feel the truth aound me. I am now no longer gullible. I am stronger because I am connected and because I trust myself. I can sense the energy in a room and know if I want to join or go the other way. I have comfort in knowing who to trust and who is in my highest good to spend time with. Trust is such an empowering thing!
My gut feeling is stronger and more accurate than it was in the past. The first step to trust is learning that trusting yourself first is the most important step. As humans, we tend to be tougher on ourselves than we are on complete strangers. It would be amazing if we could look at ourselves in a picture or even the mirror and point out the things we love about ourselves. I know that I tend to do this for others when we take a group picture, but until recently I didn’t make the effort to do it for myself. I was always quick to point out my flaws….no more! I trust myself and love myself enough to look for the good in me first. When we are tough on ourselves and say we cannot trust ourselves, we should look back and realize all the “mistakes” or perceived “failures” were made because we love ourselves and our trying to protect ourselves. In doing this we tend to hold ourselves back and not let the success and flow come in! Once we find trust in ourselves, we can learn to find trust in those we keep close around us. Once we see the good in us and the love in us, success and joy in life is destined to follow.
Now my questions aren’t who should I trust, they are….What will I do with this new strength? How will I shift more positivity into this world? What is my next step?
