Trust

Kate reminded me of this today and I thought I would share and expand upon it.

"Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go."

Kate, you are absolutely right when you say that it will not take us where we want to go but where we NEED to go. 

I'm struggling right now with myself and trust is something that I don't do very well.  With myself or others.  Even when I think I can, it never fails that I question it all.  But I think it's because I'm expecting it to take me where I WANT to go instead of where I NEED to go.

My wants and my needs are two different things and I think when I figure that out, things will start to fall into place for me.  I want everything but I need very little...and that is the hardest thing to realize. 

What is it that I love?  That's hard too!  I love sooo many things and find great pleasure in all of them but does that mean it's because I need it or because I want it?
