Trusting: Radvent journal Dec. 24

Posted on 25. Dec, 2010 by Princess Lasertron in inspiration, radvent

The second-to-the-last theme in my first annual Radvent series is trusting! Let’s wrap this piece up! I hope I can give you something meaningful to think about while you are taking in the warmth and happiness of Christmas today! xo

Though I struggle with many things, trusting is not one of them. I’m kind of a Polyanna and I usually believe that people are kind, honest, and well-intentioned. I trust in the fundamental goodness of people because I think that everybody tries to do the best with the situation they are in. (And their situation is none of my business.) And when I am disappointed by people, I just chalk it up to the possibility that our paths just aren’t compatible right now. Maybe in the future we’ll have a more positive interaction, but if not, that’s okay. Not everybody has to be my best friend.

Having so much trust in my path (which sounds so crunchy, but you know) makes it easier to overcome the frustration of human error.

So I hear everywhere that trusting is a weakness. But I think cynicism is a weakness, so whatever.

Things I always trust:
My instincts
My mom’s opinions about raising kids (isn’t that lucky?)
That I am living the best life I can live
I was created to be happy
My dad
That I am loved

What can you always trust in? When you feel unsure, go back to these rocks in your life, ground yourself, and then float away again.
