It is not Belief, or Faith, or Surrender to your Higher Power. (The answer is actually much simpler, and more down-to-earth). The secret is INTEGRITY – on all levels.
Integrity is your foundation, framework and infrastructure – for Trust…
Trusting yourself, trusting your life and purpose, trusting others, and trusting the universe. Integrity is Integral.
If you cannot trust yourself, then you cannot trust!
What does “Lack of Integrity” look like? I’m not even talking about the obvious stuff like cheating, stealing, manipulating or lying. It can manifest in more subtle ways, like…
- Not actually doing what you tell yourself that you will do
- Believing your mental chatter, negative thoughts, and fears
- Making excuses
- Self-criticism and self-judgement
- Blaming or resenting others
- Not being in your body
- Not being who you really are!
Do you trust
- Your body’s ability to heal and be healthy?
- Your thoughts? Are they true?
- Your emotions – are they even your own?
- Your words and your deeds? Are they Integrated?
- The future?
To Upgrade your Trust… Upgrade your Integrity!
