The Courage To Change—Trusting Ourselves To Take The Risk

Anything that we do entails a certain level of risk. There’s a risk in falling in love, moving to a different part of the world, starting a new job. The risk is stepping into the unknown, not knowing the outcome. The illusion is that we can control the outcome. That we can control others. But we don’t have control of anything, really, other than the way we choose to respond to our experience. When we want to create change in our lives, we have to be willing to take the risk to step into the unknown, to stretch ourselves beyond our comfort zone (which on a side note, our comfort zone might be familiar but it isn’t always serving us) and encourage ourselves to keep growing and evolving. Change requires courage—courage to take that risk. Courage requires trust. Do we trust ourselves? Do we trust that we’ll be there for ourselves, without abandoning or rejecting ourselves, as we step into and through the unknown? Once we build trust we create the feeling of safety within us because safety is a state of being more than it is a space or a place. And once we feel safe, we find the courage to take the risk to create change. It’s a spiralling in, to spiral back out again, kind of process. Change is scary, whether it’s an external change, or an internal change like deciding to no longer play the old patterns, belief systems and habits that have kept us in a state of lack of self-worth. Either way, we are stepping into an unknown, learning to make different choices, showing up in new ways, all of which will support and create new outcomes.
