NOTES FROM THE AWARENESS: 1508

Trust

Trust is difficult for many of us. We struggle to trust that things will be okay, that we will be dealt with fairly, that good things are coming our way, and that Creation has our best interests at heart.

Even worse, we may have difficulty trusting ourselves and our capabilities. We may fear that we’ll be inadequate, may mess things up, or may be unlovable. While we may be reluctant to believe in or rely on others, we may also have the same doubts about ourselves.

Trust is about being willing to let go of fear, to entertain the idea that existence is essentially benevolent. Yes, things may not always go as we might hope. We may feel hurt, disappointed, or ill-used. We may make mistakes or sometimes fall short of reaching goals.

But often, perhaps much more often than we may recognize, things do turn out well, people do end up being kindly and helpful, and we do ourselves get things right.

That’s not to say we should be blindly naive. Yes, we will wish to apply common sense, particularly in scenarios where we’ve previously had difficult experiences.

But sometimes we’ll also simply need to trust. Life does imply some risk. And trust does too.

Today’s message invites me to trust in positive outcomes. Trusting feels freer than being fearful. It also makes it easier for me to manifest what I do want.

Please reflect and share. Do you feel you are a trusting person?
