Figure

An arc on the path from Gratitude to Trustful, with a yellow fan blade tracking progress as we Trust: Feel, Act, Think.

Annotate

  1. ^Loom until ~trustful~. 
    1. ^Care for it. 
    2. ^Trust it. 
    3. ^Care ^Again. 
  2. ^Trust with ~care~ until ~trustful~. 
  3. ^Navigate in ~truth~. 
    1. ^Give ourselves time to ^Connect and ^Feel our ~body~, ~mind~ and ~environment~. 
    2. ^Refuse, ^Undo or ^Accept in alignment to ^How we ^Feel. 
    3. ^Learn by ~practice~ the pattern of ^Trust, which is to ^Act ^Promptly upon ^How we ^Feel (^Apply it ~as~ a ~map~) and then to ^Think ^Later in ~review~. 

Subject

^Trustful is a ^Super mode of ^Function for it is essential to higher functions and yet we may ^Develop it without another ~foundation~.  From this ~process~ to ^Trust and ^Care, ~knowledge~ is born. 

For those ^Who ^Know ^How to ^Dance and won't.  That is you!  And you got the right stuff, I ^Know it! 

Our ~work~ to ^Be ~grateful~ and ~trustful~ is a universal ~experience~ on our ~PATH~.  Although we ^Want to ^Accept the lower ~foundation~ of ^Humility, ^Fall and ^Fail ^When they ^Come, we don't typically ^Benefit ^When we ^Seek them out.  However, we should ^Let ourselves ^Experience or ^Renew these concepts ^Regularly. 

The ^Trustful ^Concept is at a very special ^Midpoint and often may ^Act ~as~ our ~start~ on our ~PATH~.  And it is at the core of a ^Healthy ~mind~.  ^Imagine a ~time-and-place~ of insufficient ~opportunities~ to have ^Trust ~enough~ to ^Become ~trustful~.  We can reasonably ^Infer that a ~MESS~ will ^Develop.  That is ^Okay!  It is to ^Protect us and we can ^Heal once we have both the ~strength~ for it and a ~time-and-place~ for ^Trust to ^Grow. 

We have ~shelter~ for our ~body~.  ^Likewise we ^Need ~strength~ to ^Become ^Trustful in ~mind~. 

^As we ^Join within ourselves and, to others or our world, we ^Move towards ^Moderate ~function~ ^Among ourselves, others and our world.  So, ^Less ~function~ from ^When it is at a ~maximum~, and ^More ~function~ from ^When it is at a ~minimum~.  Do you ^See ^How? 

Target

Anytime. 

Anytime it is missing. 

Anytime we ^Notice we ^Feel ^Less ~knowledge~ from it. 

Anytime we ^Feel unable to ^Be ^Honest. 

Anytime we are ^Grateful and have ^Sufficient ~strength~ to ^Try. 

Here is the thing about being ~trustful~.  It is an emotional state that we ^Create.  We ^Give time to ^Let our senses and ~feelings~ ^Lead the ~way~.  We ^Move our ~excess~ ~thoughts~ out of the ~way~.  But with ~experience~ we ^Learn we have many things that may ^Deceive us in some ~way~.  Those things may ^Cause our ~trust~ to ^Decrease.  Rather than ^Refuse ~trust~, we ^Want to ^Shift it, ^Transform its ~direction~ or ^Change ^When we ^Consider it ~acceptable~.  We ^Maximize ~evil~ ^When we can't ^Trust to ^Such an extent that we ^Refuse ~daily-self-care~ or any other essential ~mode~. 

I've been there.  For ~empathy~, ^Imagine that we may ^Develop mistrust in ourselves due in ~part~ to dehydration yet ironically that mistrust may ^Cause us to get ~stuck~ ^Such that we can't ^Trust to ^Drink. 

^When we or others can't ^Trust our ~drink~ or our ~water~, our only ~focus~ should ^Be to (re-)^Establish that ~trust~.  ^When anything does ^Block our ~trust~, ~daily-self-care~, or both, it is a ~MESS~ in ~progress~ and a crisis that ~demands~ our ~attention~ ^Now until we can ^Solve it ^Properly. 

^When anything does ^Challenge our ^Trust, divert it elsewhere ^When we can.  Rather than ^Refuse ~trust~ at any ~signal~ of ~opposition~, we can ^Cycle it elsewhere instead.  And we can ^Explore ^Where it may ^Grow ~as~ ^Soon ~as~ we ^Feel it ^Decrease and ^Regularly.
