Do You Trust Yourself?

Do you trust yourself, or do you doubt yourself

?

Do you trust the deep currents of your heart, the desire that is the essence of your being?

Whether we can truly trust ourselves depends on how aware we are. If we are walking through life with our eyes closed to a lot of what's happening all around us, and especially what's happening within us, we have every reason not to trust ourselves.

However if our eyes are open, so that we are present to our internal world as well as to our external world, then we have no reason to doubt.

Everything we need to know at a given time is readily available to us. The trouble is that we tend to shut our eyes to what we sensewhat we are all the time picking up on and yet so often ignore because we don't want to know.

Why wouldn't we want to know?

How aware we are in turn depends on whether we like ourselves or whether we are constantly at war with ourselves, always trying to alter something about ourselves and fix ourselves.

The essence of trust in ourselves is our sense of ourdesirability.

I'm not talking romantic or physical desirability in the sense of our sexuality, personableness, or congeniality, but simply whether we feel wonderful in our inner being. In other words are we at peace with ourselves? Are we happy with ourselves?

You can recognize there are aspects of yourself that still need to be drawn out, areas in which you have yet to mature, without this undermining a quiet joyfulness at the heart of your being.

In infancy we were mostly happy with ourselves. We expected to be welcomed, wanted, embraced, delighted in. Self-doubt came later.

As long as we don't feel comfortable with ourselves, we are going to want to hide aspects of ourselves. That's when we close our eyes to what we really knowclose our eyes to what's happening around us.

Faith is trusting in ourselves, trusting the deep desire of our heart. It's so very different from belief, which is trusting a set of mental concepts and propositions.

Even believing in ourselves is a mental concept. It'strying to trust ourselves.

Trusting ourselves, which is real faith, flows spontaneously from knowing our essential goodness and relaxing into our desirableness.
