Softness In Trust

This morning, my mind turns toward softness. There is a certain softness that develops when we learn to trust.

TRUST was my word for the year. I made a conscious decision to step into it—doing things that made me nervous, learning new skills, and opening myself to new connections.

But stepping into trust didn’t always feel soft. In the beginning, it felt uncomfortable, even frightening. I felt lost and vulnerable as I tried to place my trust in others.

What I have learned is this: true trust doesn’t begin with other people. It begins within.

I had to learn to trust myself. To trust the God of my own heart. To accept that people are naturally fickle, naturally inconsistent. It cannot be helped. We cannot lean fully on them for trust—and that is okay.

What we can do is love them. Pour love into the people around us. As I often say:

Lovin’ lets the love in.

But trust itself is an inside job. It’s something we cultivate within ourselves through daily practices that anchor us in our own Truth. The Truth that we are spirits having a human experience, and that everything else is hidden behind the veil of misperception.

When we trust ourselves and lean into that Truth, we can weather any storm. Not because the storm disappears, but because we have learned how to steady ourselves—so the storm no longer holds power.

Key Takeaway

Trust is not about placing faith in others—it’s about cultivating faith in ourselves and in the deeper Truth that grounds us. When we lean into that inner trust, softness naturally arises, and we discover a resilience that makes any storm survivable.

Mantra to Practice

“I trust myself. I trust the wisdom of my heart. I trust the Truth that steadies me.”

Repeat this to yourself throughout the day, especially in moments of doubt. Let it soften your edges and remind you of your own steady center.

Namasté,
