Trusting Myself

When I'm trusting and being myself... everything in my life reflects this by falling into place easily, often miraculously.  -Shatki Gawain

 

I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it. -Barbra Streisand

I have always trusted myself and trusted my gut. I learned to do that a long time ago. But over the last few months I admit that I had a hard time doing so. It was not that I did not know what my gut was telling me, what I knew to be right, but I hard time doing it. I was torn, about everything, being pulled in all sorts of directions, one part of myself telling me one thing while another part told me something else. But inside, somewhere, I knew all the right answers, I knew what had to be done, in every aspect of my life that I was unsure about. It was just trusting myself that I could do it, and that I was doing what was right, that was difficult for me.

But I did it, all of it. I trusted myself, and everything turned out well. Better than I anticipated, actually. Knowing that I was making the right choices helped tremendously, even if they were hard decisions to make. I learned to trust myself again by being honest with myself about everything--what I was truly feeling, what I truly wanted, and what I knew to be right. Things are finally back on track in my life, and that is because I trusted myself.
