Trust creates peace

Happy holidays, everyone!

Trust creates peace.
I came across this mantra while brewing some of my favorite Yogi tea.  I love discovering each tea bag's mantra like this one because I believe the tea bag, in some cosmic way, chooses me.  (**Blogger's note: Upon revision, I do realize how crazy that sentence sounds.  In my defense; however, I am quite superstitious and through experience have found things have a way of finding you when you most need them.)

This particular mantra, like most others, came to me at the exact right time.  With graduation (thankfully/hopefully..) in sight and the holiday season in full effect, I find myself in the midst of loose ends, uncertainty and questions.  While I do find joy in the mystery of it all, I also find myself exploring every possible question/outcome over and over again.  Which brings us to the mantra...

Trust creates peace.  Okay, now read that again... powerful, isn't it? Trust in the future, trust in the universe, trust in others, and most importantly trust in yourself.  It is easy to assume that uncertainty in our lives is a result of something we are lacking or are incapable of doing.  However, isn't there always  some level of uncertainty in each day?  With cultivating a sense of trust to replace doubt, life transforms into your own wonderful mystery, unfolding before you one day at a time.  Instead of thinking it will work out, know it will.  Have faith in yourself!  After all, you've come this far, haven't you? :)

Okay, now read it again: trust creates peace.  Say it to yourself.  Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.  Ahhhhh.  Feel better?  Give yourself a hug.  Feel the peace.  Trust creates peace.

And because you can never say it too much... "You is smart, you is kind, you is important."
