Trust/Fear
We discover our true power by facing our fears and allowing them to flow through us, not by blocking or turning away from them. Each time we face fear, we have the chance to look within at what that fear has cleared out and fill that space with trust. Trust in our capacity to endure, to see through, to learn and to grow. Each moment of trust builds on a timeless truth; we already have everything we need.
