From Julia Cameron's The Sound of Paper, from an essay aptly entitled "Trust":

"Many times, when we are in doubt of our creative trajectory, it is because we are lacking in trust. We do not trust that a peaceful unfolding awaits our appetites. We are afraid to reach for what we want, afraid that as we reach, what we hunger for will be snatched from us. We believe in a capricious and withholding God.

"...When we trust ourselves, we become both more humble and more daring. When we trust ourselves, we move surely. There is no unnecessary strain in our grasp as we reach out to meet life. There is no snatching at people and events, trying to force them to give us what we think we want. We beomce what we are meant to be. It is that simple. We become what we are, and we do it by being who we are, not who we strive to be.

"We are right-sized. We are who and what we are meant to be. All that we need, all that we require, is coming toward us. We need only meet life, not combat it. We need only encounter each day's questions, not raise a fist at the heavens over the questions of tomorrow."

I am trying very hard to believe this. One day, only one day, at a time...
