Probably one of the best attributes to cultivate in your life is a sense of trust that things will work out for the best. Rather than fighting what's happening, and stressing and fretting about the future, coming to a place of peace and faith is a much more empowering place to be in. And usually, you will be more effective and make better decisions from a state of calm centeredness than coming from fear and anxiety.

But how do you have faith? The world can be a tough, awful place! Well, I think some form of spirituality is important. Believing in some sort of higher power and connecting with that power can give you comfort and strength in hard times. If you truly believe we are spiritual beings here on the planet to learn and grow, then you can be OK with life's challenges.

Seeing the big picture and knowing that we're here on the earth for only a short time before going off into the great wide beyond can provide perspective. In the grand scheme of eternity, whatever pain, problem or issue you are facing now is just a small speck on a small blip of radar. It's not permanent, nothing is.

Trust, go with the flow, and watch how things seem to work themselves out much more effortlessly than if you stressed about it and fought over it. Try it as an experiment and see what happens.
