Trust

My tea told me this today. I seem to have a habit of finding tea with words of wisdom on them. Some extra wisdom never hurt anybody.

This struck me because I have this issue. The first being that I have to work with someone that I don't really trust. (Disclaimer, this has nothing to do with their ability to do their job or with their personality and I know they care deeply.) But I still don't trust them. I don't trust them to deal with any situation like an adult should - and it makes my life a lot harder. 

No one needs people around who make your life harder - but when your soul is already not at peace because of everything else in your life, this issue is the one that can surface as the most important - even when in the long run, it's probably the least important.

Trust that people will act like adults, do their job, not hurt you, be there when you need them....those are all things that we need to be confident in in order to live a peaceful life. When one of those is out of alignment, your whole person is off-kilter. The challenge then is to be the adult - to deal with each situation head-on and in the most graceful way possible. Things get better always, but sometimes it just takes awhile, a lot of hard work, and a lot of re-centering, to get yourself there.

Peace Be With You.
