I recently was in a situation where I had to sit back and trust the process and believe that the best outcome for all would come about. This time was definately one of the most unsettling yet satisfying weeks I have had recently. I thought I would share with you my thoughts on trust and what I remembered to get through.
When you think of trust, you usually relate it to who you trust, or put your trust in something or someone. Very rarely do I hear people saying they trust themselves or trust that they will make the right choices and/or decisions.
This surprises me as without trust in yourself and your own judgement, how do you listen to your inner wisdom, how do you know what to do if anything; and how do you know who in that moment you can share the experience with? If you have little or no trust in your own decision making process, how do you know you have appropriately allocated the situation to someone who is best suited to be trusted?
Trust takes a firm belief in your current abilities and a confidence in your inner voice. Trust also lets you take that ‘leap of faith’ into unknown circumstances, knowing that your actions and efforts are enough to see you through. To trust yourself is to tell yourself that you are good enough, you know yourself well enough and you are trustworthy.
The most empowering thing I have learnt in my life so far is that the only thing I can really control is me and my actions and re-actions. With hope, faith and trust in myself, I know that even if I make a wrong decision it will lead to a right decision next time. I have also found that by having hope, faith and trust in me, I am more committed to my personal choice in beliefs, philosophies and the way I choose to live my life. The flow on effect is that I genuinely accept and respect others beliefs and choices, as they do mine.
I feel inspired every day to do my best, find reason in situations so that I may improve and expand. This all comes about due to feeling resourceful because I trust me, I have faith and most importantly I have hope.
In closing, we all feel untrustworthy or let down at times, but by building on this skills in yourself, knowing you are definitely worth it, believing you can do it, you give yourself permission to be happier and more in control. Then when you do make choices on trusting others, having faith, surrendering the situation and looking for hope in the world, you will not only see it clearly but choose the right one, thing, action or person for you.
