Happiness Is Choosing To Trust

Enlightenment can come anywhere. I am always open to it showing up either in the most obvious places, the most mundane, or the most unexpected.

It showed up in a paragraph in a historical romance novel by Sherry Thomas, my new Iris Johansen. Her book, Not Quite A Husband, is an excellent read and one I re-read often late at night.

The hero says he’s going to trust the heroine in the pivotal moment of decision in the book. And it hit me. That aha moment we all crave.

Trust is a choice.

Just like happiness.

The two choices seemed to merge like the strands of a double helix. If you trust, you’re happy. If you’re happy, you trust.

Voila.

Trust is territory I am still gaining headway in after some disappointments and betrayals. You probably have your own. Instead of saying, “I want to trust,” I’m going to say, “I trust.” Period.

How are you with trust? Is it easy for you?

Join me today. Make the choice. Trust.

Let’s all be happy.
