That’s actually a question. Because I don’t know how to trust the Universe.

I’m not a particularly trusting person.

Yep. It’s true.

I have always been the business of making things happen for myself.

Always.

So when I’m told to trust the Universe, it goes against everything I’ve done all my life.

“What do you mean, trust the Universe?” I ask in my mind. “I don’t trust anyone but myself!”

Yeah. I’ve got a control problem. And valid reasons for it.

And yet, the message I’ve repeatedly received is this:

The Universe is working in your favor. Trust yourself. Trust the Universe.

Truth is, I barely trust myself. Most of the time I don’t. I’m mostly a fools* rush in where angels fear to tread kind of girl.

And yet, in those quiet moments between breaths, my message is clear.

Trust the Universe.

Do you get these messages? How do you respond to them?

PS. The Fool card in tarot is considered the most powerful. It’s the first card in the deck and  actually represents new beginnings, taking risks, and having faith in the future.

(Of course it does.)
