Affirmations:
I
trust the Love I Am to guide my life.
I
trust all things work together for Good.
I
listen within and know what is Good for Me to be and do and give.
I
relinquish my need to seek approval from others.
What
Do You Trust?
Are
you concerned with whom to trust?
Are you confused
about what to believe?
Do you know what
is the truth?
Are you willing
to confront your own trustworthiness?
There
is a trust gap now in our world.
It seems media is
using our uncertainty to question everything.
Researchers have
found that we love to convince ourselves with our own beliefs.
The actual facts
seem not to matter when we have decided what we believe.
Stories,
Politicians, gossip, court cases, and our own family members seem to be
distrusted.
I am laughing at the
list I just wrote for you to consider.
I encourage parents
to stop calling their children “liars”.
We all tell stories
we want others to believe.
Some
tell stories because they believe them.
We all see what we
believe.
And our beliefs are
based on what we want to believe.
No one wants to be
deceived.
Deception
comes from false beliefs being backed up with truth.
We may want to be
deceived because we fear the truth will hurt.
We may want to tell
others a “fib” because we don’t want to be punished.
We always see the
facts through our own emotional filters.
Consider
that reality is merely what we have judged to be our truth.
Consider that each
individual looks at the same set of facts through their distorted perception.
Consider that we all
want to be believed and trusted and valued.
Therefore, we all put
our own spin on the story we find “”true” for us.
Perception
is complex because it must fit with what we want to see and know and hear.
Children in their
innocence choose the story they feel is most safe.
Adults in their
ignorance and sometimes innocence tell the story they believe is most safe.
Let us consider that
the “truth” we trust is our own version to support what we believe.
When
facts are perceived with fear, they seem fearful and dangerous..
When facts are
perceived with love, they may seem as innocent.
When facts are
perceived with forgiveness, they may be seen with compassion.
Decide how you want
to perceive the facts: with judgment and fear or with forgiveness and love.
I
prefer to look at the character of each person.
I prefer to see what
is worthy and reflects their true nature.
I prefer to observe
the heart, caring and compassion of each individual.
I prefer to judge no
one, but trust the consistency and intention of each one.
Let us
look beneath our judgments.
Let us see ourselves
as learning and growing.
Let us notice our
generosity and desire to serve.
Let us be forgiving
of the errors we all make.
It is
only with an open mind that we can discover what is the highest truth.
I choose to forgive
my misperceptions and see things differently.
