🌼Trusting yourself

🍁Trusting yourself is not about becoming invulnerable to fear or eradicating self-doubt. Rather, it’s reclaiming the power that we surrender to our fears and choosing each day to show up from a place of faith, rather than fear; of self-trust, rather than self-doubt.

🍁Walking the path of faith over fear is not about religion. It’s about daring to lean into a deeper source of power that lives within us, and around us. It’s about taking the ultimate risk, placing a bet on ourselves that within us is all that’s required to meet the demands of each moment as it arises. Faith doesn’t remove our problems, but it transforms our relationship to them. In doing so, it expands our bandwidth for life.

🍁“Self-trust is the essence of heroism.” We are each walking our own hero’s journey, and each day we wake up, we have the opportunity to start anew in building the self-trust that true heroism requires. To walk our own hero’s journey, in our own way, in our time.

🍁Day by day, choice by choice, one brave act of heroism at a time, you build self-trust each time you are braver than you want to be. You do it each time you risk falling short as you pursue what tugs at your heart. You do it each time you defy your doubts and honor your gifts. You do it each time you lay your vulnerability on the line for the sake of a noble cause. And you do it each time you look within for the light that you seek.  

🍁If ever there was a time to be the hero of our own lives, it is now.

🍁If ever there was a time to ground ourselves in our innate “enoughness,” it is now.  

🍁If ever there was a time to listen to the whispers of our inner sage, it is now.

🍁If ever there was a time we needed to step up to the plate in our lives, it is now.

🍁And if ever there was a time to search inside ourselves for the certainty missing around us—grounding ourselves in “self-certainty”—it is now.  
You’ve got this. I’ve got this. We’ve got this.

🍁Decide today that you will ground yourself in faith, not fear. Then ask yourself, What would I do today if I trust that whatever happens, I can handle it?
Not only will it lighten your spirit, but it will liberate you to do more of what strengthens you and elevates others.

🍁So breathe in faith, breathe out fear.

🍁Breathe in faith again.
