I've often thought it would be 'lovely' to have the sensory ability to see everything for the Truth of what it really is, and to be able to 'trust' in everything I believe. Often our own needs, desires and wishes can get us into great difficulty because we don't have the advantage of the full scope of knowledge, beyond our perceptions. We often ignore or don't have the information to make valuable choices in the interactions and business of our lives.

Recently, this point came through clearly to me, as I trusted what I thought I knew. There is a valuable lesson in this one for everyone if you are really paying attention to what I am saying here. I trusted my version of what I believed. I trusted that a person who had been entrusted with my highest good was authentic in their words, deeds and actions. And I trusted that they would look after me at the same level of integrity and authenticity as I would look out for them. I perceived and believed in their highest good operating in my highest good and trusted in that perception.

What I came to find out is that they did not have any awareness of what I had entrusted to them, trusted to be the truth and understood to be true about our relationship and business transaction. Sure, my timing might have been a bit out of kilter, or the circumstances might have been a bit heady, (in other words there might have been other extenuating circumstances that I was unaware of at the time.) But, what I discovered is that my perception of our transaction was as invalid as if the transaction had never occurred. I'd like to believe that everyone is as noble and careful in their transactions, as I would be with them.

My lesson is that while I good trusted in my own understanding and perceptions of what I thought to be true, I really did not have the truth of the other person working 'for me.' Therefore, what I trusted, which was my perception was definitely trustworthy. What I trusted in, well in this particular case was definitely not trustworthy. The moral of this lesson is to trust your instincts and back yourself up with the evidence. Our perceptions are an important part of our life experience and we need to trust our own deeper knowing and ourselves. We need not lose our sense of self-trust at the hands of inexperienced people who we trust and who have not fully understood what our trust means in our business and our life transactions.

May your perceptions be a gift of knowledge, greater wisdom and self-growth. And may you place your trust in people and situations that are worthy of your trust in them.

Love & Life,
Becky
