Imagine you have complete trust in yourself.

Imagine that when you believe you have made a mistake, it really isn't a mistake at all, but a lesson you need in order to guide you along an alternate route.

Imagine you are not afraid to make mistakes. Imagine that any mistakes or setbacks are actually beacons, so there is no reason to be afraid or to feel guilty. Imagine you have such trust in yourself, that you will know when to make a shift, or when something is not right for you.

How do we get here? How do we awaken steadfast trust in ourselves, after years and possibly a lifetime spent questioning and second guessing? How do we let go of other people's truths for us and fiercely grab on to our own?

The path might take pain. We might get so uncomfortable, so that we may open enough to the possibility of a better way. Through a series of errors, we finally might be able to look back and see that all those supposed wrong-turns were actually blessings. Then we may justifiably wonder, what blessings are happening today that I am mistaking for flaws?

When you are grounded in your truth, when you feel into the sensations in your body, and discern what they are telling you, you are making a beginning.

You begin to make choices from a place of deep inner wisdom and knowing. As you move forward on your path, you begin to sense there is something else guiding you. Even protecting you. You see signs and experience synchronicities. You feel like you are moving with the flow of the Universe instead of railing against it. You will still make mistakes; you will still need to observe and feel. But the outcome is not the whole point.

The path won't be perfect or even comfortable. But you will trust that it is yours - lessons, errors, successes, and all.

To be grounded in your truth also means to take responsibility. This might seem scary at first, but once you take responsibility for all the parts of your life, you also get to take pride in all the creations ahead. You walk your path with full acceptance that it is yours, and yours alone. You are able to create anything and everything you want - the relationship, the career, the spiritual quest. Every single experience up until now has led you here.

What is your truth? The answer is not in being able to name it - Your truth is not an end result, but a culmination. Your truth is also a continuation. Where will you go from here, and how will you honor that truth along the way?
