In my life these days I feel an immense sense of peace and contentment in the midst of some huge changes. How is this possible? Why am I not more fearful? Well the only reason I can find for my sense of peace is that, I trust. I have faith that I am on a path that is authentic and comes from a place of knowing deep inside of me. The very centre of my being. My God centre. I trust that I am going to be o.k. regardless of the actions or decisions of others.
What exactly is trust anyway? How do we trust ourselves and others? Is trust something we earn or is it a given? Well I guess if we are speaking in purely human terms – trust is something that we earn. Although I suppose there are times when it is freely given. Me though, I am speaking of trust as a spiritual principal. So I feel that trust is about having faith. Faith in myself and God or my Creator. Trusting is believing that my Creator has always known my deepest desires. My God / Creator has always known my heart and its desires even when I haven’t been so sure. Trust and faith for me are really the same thing. To trust in something or someone is to have faith in them.
Sometimes I have had a hard time trusting myself. Trusting my heart. This comes from a place of fear and from past experiences. Although today where I sit in life it is becoming easier to trust that wisdom that comes from the centre of my being and this is likely true because of those past experiences. Ultimately, it takes a lot of courage to trust the wisdom of our hearts, especially when it may look to the outside world that we are being impulsive, selfish or just plain stupid. If we allow ourselves to get caught up in what others are thinking we will move from our feeling hearts into our thinking heads. God centre to EGO. Once that happens, chances are that fear and EGO will step in and say here let me help. We know the way. We don’t want you to live from the heart because you are better when you are thinking. How can we allow this if we truly believe that God has always known our truth, our deepest hearts desire? Why do we doubt? Who are we to say no this is not how it should be. This is not how it should look? You are wrong and I, (add name here) am right so let me take over and show you the way.
Trouble with that thinking is that in the past that is how I lived and history has shown me that I often lead myself down many challenging paths. Not to say that I haven’t learn many valuable lessons down those roads because I did and am incredibly grateful for all of them. Often times it was my lack of faith and trust in Gods plan for me that lead me down the challenging roads I have travelled.
The greatest lesson that I have learned over the years is that what I feel in my heart has never changed. EVER. It is always that same quiet voice leading me in a direction that looks and feels different from what I have ever known. Away from what is familiar, comfortable and looks good from the outside. Away from a sure thing into the great unknown. Shouldn’t I be scared? Afraid of the unknown? Why aren’t I? Why do I feel a sense of comfort and peace in the deepest part of me? Maybe that peace comes from finally having the courage to step outside of what is viewed as normal (what the heck is normal anyway?) into a life lived from a place of knowing that I am being divinely lead and supported. Living my life trusting in my own inner wisdom which has always been the same. I am here in this life time to learn to trust the wisdom of my heart and only when I am able to finally do that will I live the life that I was born to live.
Today in my life I don’t feel like there are any other options for me except to trust my inner wisdom. A knowing so persistent and consistent that it is begging me to be true to myself. Trust that all of my answers are found in my heart. The centre of my being. For all of us that is where our truth is found. In our hearts.
We may be able to go through life hiding ourselves and our light from others. The trouble with that is that we can never hide from ourselves. Our job is to stay in contact with our God / Creator via prayer and meditation so we can move away from living from our heads and move into that loving space of our hearts. When we stay open and in contact with something greater then ourselves we then need to be willing to trust the guidance that we receive because it always comes.
A wise person once said to me that – “WHERE GOD GUIDES, GOD PROVIDES”
Trusting ourselves my be one of our most challenging feats and yet likely the one that bears the most rewards. Having courage and faith in ourselves can sometimes be difficult to muster. Especially when there is resistance from outside forces. We learn through experience to trust in our inner wisdom. In God or Creator. In ourselves. Living from the heart takes courage and faith especially when others are in opposition. We only get one chance to live this life so please don’t sell yourself short. You are wise. You are wonderful and if you are able to trust that place deep inside of yourself that has all of your answers it will lead you to the life that you were born to live. We all deserve to live a life filled with peace, contentment, joy love and happiness. These gifts are not found out there in the future. They are found right here in the present in our hearts if only we just tune in, listen and trust. By having faith in and trusting ourselves we will clear the way so that we may experience the life that we all deserve.
WHAT WE BELIEVE WE DESERVE, WILL BE EXACTLY WHAT WE GET
Live a life filled with compassion, love and kindness for all – no exceptions. We all deserve these gifts from one another. Even for those we may not particularly like, especially those we don’t particularly like. There are no exceptions no conditions put on these wonderful gifts. That which we freely give others will flow back to us tenfold if only we are willing to believe and trust.
My wish for all of you today is that you are able to turn inward and listen to and trust the wisdom of your heart. Namaste.
AFFIRMATION: I TRUST THAT ALL OF MY ANSWERS ARE FOUND IN MY HEART.
Love and light from my heart to yours,
Lisa
