‘Trust’ is letting go and trusting the process. It is the expectation of good, without evidence anything has occurred. Sometimes an obstacle indicates a blockof some kind (physical, Spiritual, emotional, mental) in one’s energy. It can be an indication that something needs to be released; perhaps a negative attitude. The book ‘Ask and It Is Given’, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, discusses how we can create any condition, whether positive or negative, by our thought processes. While this idea may seem somewhat overwhelming at first, it also promises that if we can create an unfavorable situation, we also have the ability to manifest the conditions necessary to change it.

Having been ‘jobless’ since Friday, I am beginning to realize how things work out for the best. So many friends, so many signs of hope and inspiration have come from this. I feel truly blessed. Everything happens for a reason, and ‘faith in action’ is alive and well here.

If people learned to trust their inner voice (or intuition), they would find themselves learning to ‘trust the ‘process. Meditation is the easiest way to do this.

Sometimes the best action, is no action at all, when uncertain about which steps to take. This is Spirit’s way of saying ‘Wait..do nothing’. The answer will come.

Sometimes I’ll make a list of three things, which occurred during the day, that I’m grateful for. This idea, which comes from Oprah Winfrey’s gratitude list, has helped me to be more appreciative and optimistic.

I recently found an amazing book; ‘One Small Step’ (The Kaizen Way), by Robert Maurere, Ph.D). The idea behind this book is that smaller more steady changes manageable changes can last longer and are less intimidating than larger, more drastic ones. An example the author uses deals with one of his patients, a woman who needed to lose weight. She’d been under alot of stress recently, so he suggested that she begin her weight loss program by simply marching in front of the television daily for a minute. The result is that she stuck with the program and continued to supplement it and lost weight.
