Another moment with the reading fairy

Many of us feel like we need a rulebook, a microscope, and a warranty to get through life.

We feel uncertain, frightened.

We want the security of knowing what's going to happen, and how we shall act.

We don't trust life or ourselves.

We don't trust the Plan.

We want to be in control

How can I trust myself?

How can I trust life, and my instincts, after where I've been, we ask.

It is understandable that we fear being crushed again, considering the way many of us were when we 'bottomed out'.

We don't have to be fearful.

We can trust our self, our path, and our instincts.

Yes, we want to avoid making the same mistakes again.

We are not the same people we were yesterday or last year.

We've learned, grown, changed.

We did what we needed to do then.

If we made a mistake, we cannot let that stop us from living and fully experiencing today.

We have arrived at the understanding that we needed our experiences - even our mistakes - to get to where we are today.

Do we know that we needed our life to unfold exactly as it did to find ourselves and this new way of life?

Or is part of us still calling our past a mistake?

We can let go of our past and trust ourselves now.

We do not have to punish ourselves with our past.

We don't need a rulebook, a microscope, a warranty.

All we really need is a mirror.
