The superhuman power of trusting absolutely

Mastering the art of trusting oneself relies on absolute self-belief, but also on knowing that the perception of our own excellence is fallible.

I recently had a dream, one of those ones that wakes you in the middle of the night and you know it means something important. I don’t remember anything about it. Nothing. Not even one detail. But I remember receiving a message. I often get messages from Spirit in my dreams. The details are rarely as important as the information I get or how the dream made me feel.

I have been grappling with something for the past couple weeks, a foundational hurdle from my youth. I’ve got to say, though, it feels less like a hurdle and more like a public pantsing in the middle of the gym at a high school dance. The final song of the evening is Stairway to Forgiveness. But the hit song, as I discovered, is titled something else entirely.

Trust.

The message I received in that dream is that I am not trusting the universe enough. As a result of the challenges I have been facing, I considered all the old stories I used to tell myself, and doubt started creeping in. It does that sometimes. Everyone experiences doubt in themselves and their path at times. That’s normal.

Trust.

Trust comes up a lot for me. I get reminded often by Spirit to trust. One of many examples is from the first time I used my new deck of Life Purpose oracle cards. I pulled three, as you do. Two of the cards were identical, and they were the Trust card. Obviously, there are not meant to be two of the exact same cards in a deck. But in MY deck there are. That’s just how strongly the universe is sending me this message.

Trust.

Who, or in what, do you trust? And what do you trust them on or with or for?

What is worthy of your trust? Is there a process to earning it?

Do you have faith in a spiritual presence or higher influence (like Spirit, a religious God, a Creator, or otherwise)? If you do, how does your faith in that power relate to trust?

Are your faith and trust in your higher influence absolute? Are they possibly not and you wish they were? What, if anything, are you doing about that gap?

It was hard for me to receive the message that my trust in Spirit has not been absolute. Why is there a lack of trust and where does it originate?

My only source of true power is within, so I plunged aggressively seeking the spaces where I have trouble trusting. Almost immediately, I found what I was looking for. I realized that the real difference comes not when I trust my Source; the real difference comes when I trust myself to be enough. To be whole. To already have everything I need. I wasn't trusting myself. I wasn't believing in myself.

Realizing this was so liberating that I was able to confidently pull my pants back up in the middle of that proverbial gymnasium. Cartwheel, back handspring. I’m out. Peace yo.

All I need is to freely be me. To trust me. To be my biggest believer in me.

I trust myself and know that my self-belief is my truth. My self-belief is stronger and more powerful than anything someone else can tell me about me.

I trust myself that I have value to add to the world.

I trust myself that I am powerful beyond measure.

I trust my intuition and use it to create change in the world, to serve and support others. To connect.

I trust that I am attracting a life of abundance, and my abundance is growing because of my desire to share it.

I trust myself.

The universe loves me and is in full support of me.

My dream had never actually been about trusting Spirit because I am one with Spirit. My dream was always about trusting myself; that is what will make all the difference here and now.

I believe life is more extraordinary with full surrender to Spirit, to a greater influence. I will keep moving toward it, with every dream, with every exploration inward, with every conversation. Every moment seen through love and experienced with love is further surrender to Spirit and a fuller experience of the privilege of this life. Are you with me?

So much love to you,

Leanne.
