Learning to trust yourself is one of the greatest gifts that
you could ever bestow. For you are
declaring that you are the writer, the director and the star of your own movie
called life. It is a declaration that
you honor the power of who you are, a divine reflection of love and light to
grace this planet. To say the above
affirmation can be quite unnerving, because you are making a statement that you
and only you are responsible for the thoughts, feelings and actions that occur
in your world.
What does it mean to trust yourself? Well, in order to trust, you first have to
get to know who you are? To become an
observer of your actions and more importantly, your reaction to others in the
world around you.
It is an act of mindfulness, to constantly become aware of
your thoughts, what you say and what you do as you interact in your world. It means looking at yourself from a place of
unconditional love, where you observe with kindness and compassion.
You lovingly create a habit where you choose to interact
with others from a place of peace rather than angst. It is cultivating goodness in your heart for
yourself and others by looking at the small things in your life that you can do
differently to create a greater feeling of joy.
Instead of reacting in the same old habitual way to others who may annoy
you, think of reacting differently. Put
yourself in someone else’s shoes. Are
they feeling a lack of love in their life as the cause of them acting out?
Feeding the compassion in yourself, allows you to cultivate
the seed of love that is innate to all, yet is normally obscured by the
emotions of guilt, doubt, angst and worry.
When you observe the synergy between the heart and mind and
you learn to operate from this unified space rather than the disconnection and
sometimes opposition of the two, your walk becomes an act of being mindful and
present for each step that you take.
Just for today, take a step towards trusting the Divine Light
of who you are. A reflection of the
essence of unconditional love that can only grow when you take time to love and
nurture yourself.
Have a blessed weekend.
Namaste
