When we hold faith what we are really doing is trusting.
Trusting that everything is going to be OK.
Trusting that it is all going to work out for our best and highest.
And most importantly trusting in ourselves that we have the guts to keep putting one foot in front of the other, continually taking steps towards our hopes and dreams, which leads us to trusting that the universe/god/creator will back us up.
Right now in this very moment of time I am struggling with that trust. I have reached a point in my life, in this moment, where I am actually making goals for myself on so many different levels and it is beginning to feel a little overwhelming.
I have never and I mean NEVER been a goal setter. I always thought that I would just roll with life and allow whatever was to be for me to be. And to be honest I love that philosophy...
BUT I have realized that to propel myself forward, it is time to set some actual goals. No more waiting around for the universe to step in and "show" me the way. Now is the time to start carving out a path for me and I gotta be honest here. I am scaring the crap out of myself.
All those old doubts start to surface, you know what I'm talking about here. All the "what ifs"
What if I can't do it
What if I try and I fail
What if I make an idiot out of myself in the effort
and the all encompassing... What if I'm not good enough...
So in feeling all of these doubts and wondering where in the world my always there, standby trust and faith has gone (remember all this is happening in my head while driving in my car) I look up and what do I see....
a Hawk, with no fear, soaring high above the earth, in full trust that it will not fall. The universe is supporting that Hawk as it soars through the air on wings of trust. It does not question whether it can fly, it just does it. So maybe I can too.
For the rest of my driving this morning I saw a total of 14 Hawks!! All soaring high in the sky. Must be a sign and for me it is one that rings very strongly in my heart as the Hawk is my main power animal and tends to show up for me when I am stepping in the right direction.
So today I am taking my lesson from those Hawks and have decided to spread my wings and fling myself off the cliff. I have also decided to leave all my expectations behind.
They can stay on the cliff and dig their own little "what if" hole. I don't need them anymore because I have wings.
But as you know these are just one girls thoughts, so you tell me, where do you find that trust? How do you manage to step forward through all the what ifs and do it anyway?? I would love to hear your stories and experiences so please feel free to leave them in the comments :)
