Trust

I am still using the “letting go” box, and every day I am scribbling down things I need to keep letting go of. Today, I was overcome with doubt over the choices I have made around work. I never planned to become an elementary school librarian. I was already in the school system at the time and I was losing my position in the staff development office because of lack of grant money. I needed a new job and this one was available at the time. It ended up that I could have the job while I was in library school.

Now, three years later, I am still doubtful about the decision. More than anything, I need to “let go” and trust in how my life is unfolding. I realize I need to cultivate more trust, in myself, in my life, in Divine love. I am realizing that at the core of what I hold on to, and have trouble letting go of, is a lack of trust.

How can I cultivate more trust — in my life, in my actions, in the Divine? I heard a suggestion that I might practice this week. It was simple. Every day, I need to say to myself: I trust in my life and the way it’s unfolding. For this week, let’s cultivate trust in our lives, and support each other in the journey.
