What does it mean to live in trust of what is happening?
It means believing that every situation carries wisdom. Everything that happens to you is for your highest good, even if you don’t see the meaning right now.
Read on to learn how to experience total trust.
The “I’m human again” state
I call this state the “concrete slab on your head.” Life seems fine, nothing drastically serious or terrible is happening.
But at the same time, there’s a feeling that something is off. In your natural, innate state, a stream of energy flows out of you. As soon as an idea comes, energy appears to bring it to life, and steps you need to take line up in your mind.
Someone says a phrase, and you feel energy stir inside, your heart opens. That means you should go there, it’s worth doing.
But here — none of that is there. The concrete slab on your head state — I’m human again.
What’s important is what you feel in that moment? Worthlessness, powerlessness, or value, trust? Not even trust that higher powers will lead you out, but trust in one simple phrase: Everything is happening exactly as it should for my maximum growth, maximum awakening, maximum development. For my highest good.

What it means to live in trust of what is happening
“Everything is happening as it should, for my highest good!” Repeat this saying like a mantra, especially when you’re failing, when enemies are attacking from all sides. In that moment, mutter this phrase like a mantra.
I’m not a big fan of affirmations, but in this case, they work. Sometimes quantity takes over quality.
In a moment of failure, you’re thinking with narrow, constricted thinking. In this state, you can’t see broadly, because you can only see globally by rising up.

For example, parting with loved ones, someone passing away. These are tragic, sorrowful events. Only the faith within you will help—the belief that even this serious obstacle, this serious tragedy, carries something brighter and lighter within it.
You just need time to see it. Nothing more.
There’s no need to move in that moment, no need to run, to try to do something. Just give yourself time to be in that state and wait for the moment when you rise up and finally see the whole picture. With the same characters.
But they will already look different. Because at that moment, you are expanding and seeing the global perspective, the view from above.
Only after that do you send a request to the universe: “Show me what I don’t see! Where is the highest good here?”, “Show me why I ended up without money, without work?”, “Why did a loved one leave me?” Demand that it be shown.
And what will happen after that, do you think? Will everything suddenly become rosy, fluffy, and beautiful? Will the same people turn their front side toward you instead of their back? Hardly.
But inside, a feeling will arise that I am where I need to be, that what happened is happening for my highest good, I am strong enough to handle this. There is a version of you that has already lived through it, turned it in a completely different direction, and received the result.
That is, in this way, like Baron Munchausen, you pull yourself out of the swamp, with a feeling of total trust.
But if you sink into doubt, into distrust, and start engaging in self-digging, then the distance between where you have already done all this, overcome it, lived through it, and coped with it, increases. And that reality moves away to the side, and for a long time.
