Trust

I find it easy to be afraid. I find it easy NOT to trust. It is a cop-out to imagine that nobody is going to help you or that you are in this all by yourself. When we say these things, it really shows how we feel about people. It shows that we DON'T trust people and we are looking for excuses to fail. I do this all the time. Starting this business seems silly to me because I don't think I can really do it. I am starting it because I WANT to do it, but I don't honestly believe I can... That is different though, that is self-confidence. Trust is something else. Do I trust in others to come alongside me and assist? Do I believe that people WANT me to succeed? Are my friends just waiting for me to fail so they can see themselves as more successful than me?

The bigger question is whether I can trust that there is a higher power that wants what is best for me. Do I believe that God truly does want what is best? That my success is His success. Is he the kind of father that is proud when his kid succeeds? These are things that are easy to say, but rather difficult to believe... well at least for me.

To all those out there who are attempting to do something great in their life, I wish you well and blessings in your endeavors. Do not let your mind convince you that the world is out to get you. There is always someone you can trust to be there for you. And when you do feel alone, I would encourage you to try and trust God. Maybe you don't believe in God, but try and asking God to come alongside you. You may find something great can happen that you never even expected.
