Without a Net
Living Life with Trust

by Madisyn Taylor

When we continually live our life with a safety net it creates a barrier to our freedom.


As we create the life of our dreams, we often reach a crossroads where the choices seem to involve the risk of facing the unknown versus the safety and comfort of all that we have come to trust. We may feel like a tightrope walker, carefully teetering along the narrow path to our goals, sometimes feeling that we are doing so without a net. Knowing we have some backup may help us work up the courage to take those first steps, until we are secure in knowing that we have the skills to work without one. But when we live our lives from a place of balance and trust in the universe, we may not see our source of support, but we can know that it is there.

If we refuse to act only if we can see the safety net, we may be allowing the net to become a trap as it creates a barrier between us and the freedom to pursue our goals. Change is inherent in life, so even what we have learned to trust can surprise us at any moment. Remove fear from the equation and then, without even wondering what is going on below, we can devote our full attention to the dream that awaits us.

We attract support into our lives when we are willing to make those first tentative steps, trusting that the universe will provide exactly what we need. In that process we can decide that whatever comes from our actions is only for our highest and best experience of growth. It may come in the form of a soft landing, an unexpected rescue or an eye-opening experience gleaned only from the process of falling. So rather than allowing our lives to be dictated by fear of the unknown, or trying to avoid falling, we can appreciate that sometimes we experience life fully when we are willing to trust and fall. And in doing so, we may just find that we have the wings to fly.

When we believe that there is a reason for everything, we are stepping out with the safety net of the universe, and we know we will make the best from whatever comes our way.



DailyOM Course Spotlight


Heart Yoga: Awaken to the Joy of Life
by Karuna Erickson and Andrew Harvey

Heart Yoga is the marriage of the yoga of the illumined body with the mysticism of the awakened sacred heart. This 8-week course on Heart Yoga is offered to directly initiate participants into the full power of this marriage, which mirrors the sacred marriage of transcendence and immanence in the Divine, and makes possible the birth of the embodied divine human. This course has been specially designed both for persons who have never before practiced yoga as well as for experienced yoga students and teachers. Heart Yoga brings to all who practice it with devotion a renewed vibrancy of being, a deepening sense of inner peace, and the heart energy to act in the world as a channel of love and truth.
