At some point you have to dare to trust.

Trusting yourself or trusting the universe can be really hard. Especially when you haven't got enough evidence that things will work out. Maybe you have evidence to the contrary - you trusted, and things didn't work out.

But actually, that's not what trust is. Trusting is taking a leap of faith in the face of uncertainty. If you know things will work out for sure, then there's no trusting necessary. You already know the outcome.

Trusting is taking a leap of faith and really believing that any hurt, rejection or pain you feel along the way will be tolerable. You can handle it. And maybe even grow from it.

At some point, if you want different results from your life, you need to let go of the crutches that define your identity.
