Have you ever had the experience of knowing something is true down deep but living life as if it isn’t?

Acting like something isn’t true when you know it is creates a heavy resistance that can’t be changed by thinking alone. For this resistance to weaken we must act even before we think we’re ready.

Clarity begins when you choose truth over comfort. ~ Ralph Clotaire Jean

Therein lies the source of years of my personal suffering. Longtime spiritual beliefs must be questioned especially when you want them to be true but your experience says that they are not.

For years I believed the so called manifestation experts who said. “Abundance comes to me easily and effortlessly regardless of what I do.“ It felt good to say it and even to believe it but I’ve learned that an untruth that feels good creates nothing but a false hope, always waiting.

This cliche’ is often misconstrued to do nothing and just be. It doesn’t say that. More accurately it could be worded.

“Abundance can come to me easily and effortlessly as long as I do something.”

We see in order to move; we move in order to see. ~ William Gibson

The truth is that abundance comes from doing what you can do now with what you have. That’s taking action.

Would you like to get to the heart of what matters most to you so your action is aligned with your truth?

Would you like to stop searching for the solution and find it within?

Your raw potential in its purest state awaits to be fulfilled. Just acknowledging this potential gives it enough meaning to uncover your main reason for being here on earth. Then you must act as if you know it to be true.

You can see your purpose but if you wait until you feel ready you’ll never seize it. Perpetual waiting creates a feeling of being unprepared.

A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for. ~ John A. Shedd

If you’re waiting to get clear, like I used to, you’ll miss out on the action you could have taken to see the clear possibility that fades away while you hesitate. So, what’s the solution? TRUST.

Trusting yourself to act on your best guess will always pay off sooner than waiting to be sure.

Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that iron string. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

That’s how we are equipped to see the world. Only with the full depth of self-trust can we act to be who we’ve always been.
