DO YOU TRUST YOU?

DO YOU TRUST YOU?
I’m late this week with the thoughts provoked by my Mentor Dr. Randin Bron’s Idea Engineer. Thoughts I share from Randin have been well received and well read, and I hope you enjoy this one!
Trusting myself was a huge issue for me when I was in active addiction and involved in other unhealthy, mood altering behaviours. How could I trust someone who did such selfish and destructive things?
Through the co-creative process of life recovery, which did incorporate both the 12 steps and personal life coaching, I did regain trust in myself and I am grateful. It came with hard and directed work!
Trust yourself
"It is our basic right to be a happy person, happy family, and eventually a happy world. That should be our goal." -- Dalai Lama
”I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we're not supposed to know; we're supposed to trust ourselves to discover it." -- Melody Beattie
How deeply do you trust your own guidance?
Always trust that you know what's best for you. To move forward in your life, gather information from the 'experts,' consider how their advice relates to your situation and then act only on what feels right for you. What does your whole being (mind, body and soul) say 'Yes!' to?
You are the only expert for your own life.”
"I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn." -- Melody Beattie

"Ultimately, we must learn to trust ourselves. When we do this intimately and intelligently, the world opens full of meaning before us. We find that we ourselves are the doorway to a fathomless understanding of the source of life itself. We need only to learn to walk through it." -- James Thornton
What have you got to do to honestly trust yourself?
