What exactly does it mean to “trust?”  What is trust?  Who or what are we to trust?  Why is trust so important?   These are just a few of the questions that people often think about when they are told to “trust.”

First, let’s talk about what “trust” means.  That actually varies by person.  For you, “to trust” might mean to trust in yourself.  For others it might be to trust in the universe or God.   This statement, “to trust” is different for all people.  The first step, is for you to think about what it means to you.  Keep in mind, that it might change from moment-to-moment.

When we “trust” we are saying that we know that everything is perfect, and that no matter what choice we make, we will be exactly where we need to be on this life’s journey.  We also understand that when things are difficult, that too, is where we need to be.  We accept and embrace the changes that come our way because we have “trust” that we are experiencing exactly what we need at this time in our lives.

So, what is it we are trusting?  Yes, overall when we believe that everything is in perfect order, and that this life’s journey is perfect, we can let go of the need to attempt to control our lives.  We are trusting an unseen universal power.  We are trusting our spirit guides.   We are trusting our inner-self.  We are trusting ourselves as well.  When we have an inner knowing that we will be okay no matter where our life’s journey takes us, we have trust.  It is not so important to know “who” we are trusting, so much as just trusting in the first place!

When we trust in ourselves, we are saying that we know that we are capable of handing anything that comes our way.  We know that we will find a way on the possibly convoluted path.  We have confidence in ourselves to live in the face of any adversity.  We also know that all adversities that come our way, are perfect for this experience.  We know that exploration promotes growth, and we trust in our abilities to explore.  When we have trust in everything that we do, we are able to step forward confidently toward our beacons.

Trust is an interesting concept.  For many, it is trusting in others.  For some it is trusting in an unseen energy.  For  you it might be something different.  We all have different views of how we can “trust,”  but when we discover trust, we overcome fear!  No matter what you think about, if you can find a way to “trust,”  nothing will bring you down.

Life is easiest when we can trust in the path that we are traversing.   Sure, the path may have its challenges, but we have an inner knowing that those challenges are also exactly what we need.  Trust gives us the confidence to explore, and exploration creates growth.  Trust in something today, that you have been afraid to explore!
