How values help you trust yourself

When you know you will act from your values, you can trust yourself and feel at ease about the future. Uneasiness about what's coming isn't really about the unknown. It's about not trusting yourself to handle whatever arrives. When you're clear on your values and committed to acting from them no matter what, the future loses its power to frighten you.

You don't need to know what will happen. You only need to know who you'll be when it does. That's the foundation of peace.

What if the ease you're looking for comes from trusting yourself, not from controlling what's ahead?
