S2:E13 Do You Trust What You Believe?

Niva Cochava, Transcendental Life Coach

What or who do you believe, and do you trust what you believe?
Depending on what and who you listen to whether that's the news or the opinions of others, you may feel uneasy or fearful because it's difficult to know what to expect or what to believe. Regardless of financial status, ethnicity, religion, education or political views, I will always believe that the human race mostly wants to be happy and live harmoniously. I'm not going to go into all the topics at hand, but, I do want to talk about what you believe. I want to encourage and inspire you to never give up. Everything is alright and everything will always work out for you.

I've talked to many people recently that are experiencing a lack of energy and they're finding it harder to focus and as well as difficulty in staying positive. This is also understandable and, like the 5 stages of grief I talked about in my last episode. It's part of the process that I believe can and will ultimately help you get where you want to go.
Without having some form of fear and uncertainty, we will never know what courage and resilience is. Any leader or pioneer, explorer, inventor, or even those in the arts or creative fields...like composers, painters, sculptures, film makers... whatever it is... they've all faced uncertainty that came with some element of risk. I find that very inspiring and it shows that when we believe in something we can do amazing things regardless of the circumstances.

It's so important to believe in something beyond what we see or hear and even beyond what we're experiencing and how we're feeling. The mind is great for analyzing and problem solving, but is often limited by the perspectives we have and what we believe. Naturally, we can often feel overwhelmed by our circumstances and through the appearance of 'how things are'. I find the underlying cause of limitations is often fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of making a mistake... lack of trust is rooted in fear. This is all natural and understandable, but it leads to frustration, anger, resentment, regret and all sorts of unsettling reactions.

When I ask you what or who you believe in, regardless of anything else, you should believe in yourself and trust what you believe. Trust that you are, you can and you will. You are; you exist, trusting that in itself is a beautiful gift. Trust that you can do whatever you need or want to do. Trust that you will get through, you will overcome and you will break through any perceived fears, limitations, setbacks or struggles.
This will give you confidence and confidence means believing in yourself. So, I'm asking you to trust what you believe. When you are confident in yourself, your world can change and new opportunities will come. When you keep at it, you can think about trust and confidence as something you will gain each day and it will accumulate as you go. It's a daily practice. In this episode, I give you some real life stories and examples to inspire and encourage you!
The one common thread among these stories of overcoming is that believing in yourself and following your passion doesn't always come easy, but oftentimes, goes hand-in-hand with change, loss, hardship and challenges. Regardless of your struggles, never lose hope, because they can be for great things! You may not see it right now, but you can believe it and trust what you believe!
