How much can you trust?

Written 09/27/09

As life continues, everyday we are learning new things about ourselves and how that reflects into our outside world.

The loudest learning this week has been all about, "how much can I trust?" In my inner dialogue throughout the day, I at least touch on the intention of "trusting myself and my Source more and more in every moment; in every day." That is a strong desire within me. However, how can you know that you're trusting more unless there is an experience that requires more trust within you?

Here comes the hard part... When the contrast in your life shows up, we can easily get swept away in our emotional reaction to the situation (usually we consider the situation bad or unpleasant). Instead of having a huge reaction to the event, if you knew that you were always safe, always loved, and everything is always OK, you could take the experience in and decide what it is that you want from the experience.

We're always in control of how we react to everything. How we react to everything has a lot to do with how things unfold. It is our thoughts and emotions (our vibrations we are sending out) that is creating the world we experience.

If your world was always peachy and nothing ever got out of place and everyone was always polite, you would get bored rather quickly because there would not be much that stimulated a new desire within you. i.e. The rude person in the car in front of you, the bill collector telling you what a loser you are, the blood test that reflected your body is out of balance, are all things that are giving you an opportunity to spark a new desire and then trust yourself and your Source (the same thing actually, you really are not separate) that all is well and you can expect and anticipate your creation with eagerness.

When things feel like it's getting a bit rough, remember that this is an opportunity to trust more and the more you trust, the better life gets! The contrast keeps coming, mind you, but your foundation in yourself is so much stronger and it takes so much more for you to be shaken. You're getting bigger than your problems! Your life becomes brighter and you shine like the sun!

Enjoy the contrast! What a fresh perspective! What freedom comes with understanding! Life is Good!
