Trust and Have Faith

When I think back to all the obstacles I have overcome over the past 10 years, I remember the one thing that has been a part of me and my make-up, this entire time. That is my ability to surrender to the universe, and simply remind myself to ‘trust and have faith’. This is incredibly healing, and I attribute my strength of character, my positive sense of who I am, and my blessed life, to these few words. I remember crying on my bed, in complete despair in regard to the gaping holes I once had in my life. But I remember that thought. I remember those few words ‘trust and have faith’. Those words were so powerful at the time, and they continue to be powerful to this day.

Essentially, I did surrender, and trust that things would improve in my life, as long as I kept taking small actions towards building something new and good. These words gave me the courage to take those small steps, and then bigger steps, and even bigger steps. Every time I would feel afraid, or lacked confidence or resolve, I would repeat these words in my mind. And they gave me comfort, knowing that I had complete faith that things would get easier, and better for me. And I still practice this… to.this.day.

Knowing what I now know about manifestation, I realise that through thinking positively and visualising success, taking solid action steps towards improving myself and my life, and having total faith that things would get better, led me towards building (and manifesting) a beautiful life. I didn’t know at the time, that by doing the above things, essentially, I was putting myself in the driver’s seat of my life, and in the process of manifesting an amazing future.

If I had one piece of advice for someone in a similar position to the one I was in 10 years ago, I would tell them to dive right into a manifestation practice, but even more importantly, simply to repeat those words ‘trust and have faith’, when faced with despair or hardships. I would tell them just how incredibly powerful those words can be, and how much strength and courage can be derived by repeating those words regularly.

In the space of ten years I have found an abundance of love and friendships, meaningful work, amazing opportunities, a lovely home and car, financial stability, personal and spiritual growth, inner peace and self-love, and everything that I need to be happy.

All thanks to my extraordinary belief that if I trust, and have faith, things will work out – and of course taking courageous action towards bettering myself and my situation every single day. You can’t really have one without the other, because even if you keep taking steps forward, you may hit roadblocks, and want to give up. But when you pair action with the belief that faith and trust in the universe will carry you the rest of the way, you will be unstoppable.

So trust… and have faith, the universe is on your side.
