A REFLECTION ON TRUST By MICHELLE VOOGHT  A  Reflection  on  TRUST….   Aha  –  trust  is  such  a  small  word,  with   such   a   huge   meaning!     You   feel   you   have  been  let  down  by  trust.     You   are   scared   to   trust   again   as   it   may   leave   you   feeling   vulnerable   and   insecure.     Trust   is   the   foundation   of   all   our   giving   and   receiving   in   life.         It  is  the  foundation  of  how  we  TRUST   the  Universe  to  provide  for  us.         It  is  the  starting  point  of  TRUSTING  that  everything  will  eventually  work  out.     Many  times  we  get  let  down  by  Trust  because  we  weren’t  specific  enough  about  what  we   request  or  want  from  Trust?  The  biggest  disappointments  happen  in  life  because  we  keep   our  expectations  in  our  heads  and  not  on  the  table!    Put  it  out  there,  communicate   clearly  what  you  expect  from  Trust,  how  does  it  look  like  to  you?     • Trust  is  saying  sometimes  I  lead,  sometimes  I  follow   • Trust  is  honest,  truthful  and  clear   • Trust  is  allowing  yourself  to  be  led  when  the  outcome  is  unknown   • Trust  is  saying  I  don’t  know,  what  I  don’t  know  and  that’s  ok   • Trust  is  listening   • Trust  is  talking   • Trust  is  opening  up  to  your  heart,  your  emotions  and  all  your  other  senses   • Trust  is  saying  I  have  your  back   • Trust  is  saying  I  need  help   • Trust  is  mindful   • Trust  is  heart  based,  not  ego  based     Give  yourself  permission  to  trust  again,  to  allow  trust  back  into  your  heart  and  talk  to   God  and  His  Angels  about  your  fears.    Talk  to  your  loved  ones  and  people  around  you   that  may  give  or  receive  trust  from  you.    Clear  the  air,  forgive  and  release  past  hurts.   Move  forward  and  trust  yourself  and  others.
