Affirmations:

I forgive any and all forgetfulness and neglect.
I commit to love, no matter what.
How
can you trust another until you trust yourself?
How
can you know what is real until you know what is real in you?
How
can you be sure of anything until you are sure of yourself>
When
we waffle with indecision, changing our mind and our moods, how can we trust
anything?
Perfect
trust is rare, because we are always changing.
When
we trust in our personalities, our thoughts and feelings change.
When
we trust in our bodies, our physical abilities change over time.
When
we trust in our beliefs, our beliefs are influences by others.
Seek
a place where you can feel secure.
Seek
a belief in which you feel confident.
Seek
a person in whom you feel safe.
And
always look for what you can trust within yourself.
Most
people want to know they can trust in something or someone.
When
that trust is shaken or questioned or betrayed, people feel insecure.
With
insecurity comes fear.
With
fear comes lack of confidence, withholding love and distance from others.
Many
people seek for safety and love in another……
We
often choose family, friends, partners and authority figures.
When
we choose to trust and commit to someone, we place of security and safety in
them.
When
that trust is broken or questioned or forsaken, we may feel lost, alone and
afraid.
There
was a time when contracts we sealed with a handshake.
There
were families and peoples who kept their word until death.
There
are agreements made “until death do us part” which were held to be true.
Where
do we hold any truths to be inevitable, like “life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness”.?
Can
we reclaim our own truths and trust?
Can
we write our own declaration of independence?
Can
we make a vow to ourselves that is lasting?
Can
we trust ourselves in claiming and maintaining our word?
When
we give and keep our word, we feel confident in ourselves.
When
we love ourselves unconditionally, we feel happy.
When
we live our values everyday in everyway, we feel powerful.
When
we choose to treat others with love and respect, we feel secure.
Perhaps
it is time to forgive and erase ourselves for our self-betrayal.
Perhaps
we can now forgive ourselves for the promises we have not kept.
Perhaps
this is the way we return to trust by trusting what we say and do.
Let
us now choose to keep our word, our promises and commitments.
Choosing
love, no matter what.
