Trusting the universe means trusting yourself.
Trust is true empowerment, for it can move mountains by giving birth to enlightened action. That is what it takes to shine your light and live limitlessly.

When people say ‘trust the universe’, it also means ‘trust yourself’. The latter is often glossed over but it is in fact our biggest obstacle to enlightenment, because we are so often filled with self-doubt. Trusting and honouring the universe also means trusting and honouring yourself.
It’s all very well saying “I’m in this terrible situation but I trust that the universe will save me”. You have to be able to say “I’m in this terrible situation but I trust myself to know what to do. I trust that the universe is inside me. I trust my higher self, who comes through for me every time. I surrender to my higher self, even if this seems very threatening to my ego. I will follow her to the end, even if this means doing things that terrify me”.
That is what trusting the universe really means. It means going way out of your comfort zone and opening yourself up to what seems like the impossible. It means opening your heart so that you are naked in your vulnerability, for all to see. And it means laying aside judgement of good or bad and just accepting what is.
This acceptance can be the hardest thing in the world if it means accepting something painful. But in the acceptance, in that surrender, the pain will eventually be transmuted. Would you truly have it any other way? Would your higher self really torture you needlessly, if you had laid down your arms and were waving the white flag of peace at her feet? No. Surrender is all it takes to conquer all pain, all demons.
Trust is true empowerment, for it can move mountains by giving birth to enlightened action. That is what it takes to shine your light and live limitlessly.
So each day say to yourself, “I trust the universe, and I trust myself. Every time, without exception. If I make a mistake, that’s ok - I learn from it, so there are no real mistakes. I move forward bravely, knowing myself to be an embodiment of Source. By speaking my truth and sharing it with the world, I allow the divine purpose of the Cosmos to unfold. My unique tune completes the symphony of the Universe. I am that important.”
