The evidence is all around you…

“Look not for answers to the future, in order to determine your degree of trust. Instead, look around you at all the evidence in your present. Allow THAT to provide you with all you need to trust and believe. Simply be present in each moment and let go of the past; the energies and patterns holding you back. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Take stock of all that you have to be grateful for. Let THAT be your foundation for trust.”

This came through during my self-reiki session a few days ago👆

There is much uncertainty in my life - which has essentially been the case since I left my corporate job in 2020 (no more predictable/guaranteed schedule, routine, or paycheck 🙃). Then again, nothing in life is certain…

But I often find myself seeking assurances about the future in order to feel safe / trust that all is well in my life (not too surprising given the 180 I did…years of living life a certain way doesn’t fall away over night).

But I was reminded that clarity about the future is not the only foundation for trust (both in ourselves and in the Universe).

Instead - we can look around at where we are now, how far we’ve come, all that we’ve created, and all the ways in which we’re supported in this now moment. We can choose to allow our present moment to provide us with all the “proof” we need to trust that we will be guided, and supported, and that it all is unfolding FOR us (even if it doesn’t unfold as we expect).

We can also use the present moment to deepen our trust in ourselves. After all, we’ve overcome every challenge life has thrown at us so far and are still standing😉
