Total Receptivity Under Skeptical Times

I love your trust in others is the fortune cookie of the day.  I have to admit I don't know if I have trust in others as much as I have trust in the perfection of life and others are a part of life.  I actually have a hard time depending on people...hmmm, is that the same thing...maybe not.

I would say that I've always had a higher average degree of trust and that's basically because I really don't believe in evil, per se.  I believe at heart most people want to do the right thing and what they choose as a right thing may be less then upstanding because of fear and control issues that they have and their lack of trust or their attachment to the results.

The other thing that helps my trust is age and perspective.  Things in the moment can be painful and yet I've learned over time that in the end it was what I needed to go through to be open to the next amazing experience.

I actually came up with an acronym for trust which I like.  It's Total Receptivity Under Skeptical Times.  And we have to be open to what is in front of us as that is all we have...the past is over and the future hasn't happened yet.  So if we don't trust what's in the moment life is really bleak...and didn't I tell you, positivity makes life way more enjoyable.  I guess we could be miserable but then I'd just want to nap all the time because that is just exhausting.

Probably the quote that summarizes this the best was shared with me by my friend Julia.  "It's going to be alright in the end.  If it's not all right, it's not the end."  I probably should have just shared that.

So just surrender to the moment...this leaves me with sharing a song that is wise and touches my heart.  This is the best youtube version I can find which is a little long, if you don't want to listen to the entire 11 minutes, it's the first 4 that summarizes the intent...he roles into a kirtan which is also beautiful...just don't want you to be discouraged...Trust me!!!
