A Mind Trick for Trusting Life

Reading time: 30 seconds.

Here's a mind trick to help you trust life: remind yourself life is A LOT smarter than “you” are! Think about it...

What holds gravity in place so you don’t fall off the planet? You? Or LIFE? (LIFE.)

What rises and sets the sun? You or LIFE? (LIFE.)

What keeps your heart beating? Your organs organ-ing? Your eyes seeing this page? You? Or LIFE? (LIFE.)

-- SCORECARD -- 
“You”: 0
Life: 3 

Of course, you ARE life in the same way a wave is inseparably, indivisibly, the ocean and a ray of sunshine is inseparably, indivisibly, the sun.

Which is precisely the point.

Just as the wave doesn’t fear it will one day be dropped by the ocean, you also don't wake up in the morning freaked out that gravity will disappear. Unconsciously, you wake up trusting gravity, among endless other unseen miracles that keep your body running, only to then worry about a host of other mostly non life-threatening stuff… 95-100% of which are mind fictions that will never happen anyway.

So why not *consciously* give life the credit it deserves for knowing a lot more than you do about, well, everything... and go a little deeper, a little further, to trust its unfolding? 

Why not trust the movement of yourself as a wave in the life ocean?

What would it look like if you dropped the expectations that life should look a certain way when you have no idea, in reality, what the best way is? Some of the most horrific, painful, nauseating experiences of my life turned out, in retrospect, to have been the greatest gifts. These experiences pushed me deeper into understanding who I really am, into the nature of reality, into my true self, all experiences I can use to help others become more of who they are, if that’s the way flow wants to flow. Would I want a do over on these painful experiences? No chance. But they taught me that just because life isn’t always likeable doesn’t mean it can’t be trusted.

So why not let LIFE show you the way?

It does anyway,
