Wild Wild Trust

trust.

this abstract word has been lurking in many conversations that i have been having lately. apparently i am not the only one who finds this animal to be quite elusive when it always matters. i mean, what does it look like? how do i harness it? how do i even trust that i know when or how to be trusting?

in the movie The Secret, it gives a 3 step approach to creating your reality through the Law of Attraction. the one part of creating your reality that is crucial to the process and will ineveitably come up as your in your creation process is trust. and trust ain't no easy thang to be describin'. but i will give it a shot since i have been taking a good hard look at it myself.

the topics that trust has been coming up for me or the people around me lately has been around relationships and creating your reality. and its in relationships that trust almost seems to be the most elusive yet the most powerful. so when is it important? of course we need to trust our partners to be honest and to have our best intentions in mind. thats obvious. but what about trusting our partner's process?

have you ever had an argument with your partner and tried forcing them to see or change what you want them to see or change? have you ever gotten frustrated when it seemed like they just didnt get it? but then a week later your partner all of a sudden changes or says "hey, remember when you said yada yada yada last week...well, i've been thinkin'." there it is...the space where real transformation happened. the space where trust would have felt really good for both parties involved. i say, take some time to understand how your partner or friend or mother processes information...get to know what their space looks like and trust that they will not only move through that space but arrive with a revelation! and if you experience the flip side of that coin, then communicate to your partner or friend or mom the space in which you process and arrive to your revelations. ask them to trust that you will get there!

okay now on to creating your reality. we write our goals or desires, we affirm that they are coming to us, we imagine ourselves already there....and then as time goes on and we feel like nothing is happening......this is where its really easy to doubt your creative process. its in this space that trust comes in. oh this can be hard, especially if you are looking at your current situation as dire and the desire you NEED to manifest is not coming fast enough. this is the space where trust seems like a wild animal that is on the extinction list. it is in this space that the most crucial part of the creative process exists....it will either make it or break it.....or bring faster or slow it down.

so how do we trust in relationships or our own creative processes? well this is a good question. and after trying to describe it myself, i realize that trust really is abstract. there are no real words to actually describe what it feels like or how to envoke it. so now, after all of this, i just have to trust that you will begin to ponder the spaces within your own lives where a little more trust would make a difference. and perhaps start trusting yourselves a little more to enter those scary spaces with a more determined mind to start trusting this animal. trust me, exploring the jungles where trust resides will be worth it.
