What a brilliant question!
I was on the phone a few days back with someone who was asking me about my intuition coaching programs, where I teach people how to use their intuition on a daily basis to get what they want in life. During the call, we started talking about how she was not able to fully trust that Divine Will was taking care of her, specifically in the financial arena.
She then asked me: "So do YOU feel that you can trust Divine Will to take care of you 100% of the time?". What a great question! Do you think she was expecting me to anwer with an enthusiastic YES? That might have been a good marketing line (ick!) but it would not have been the truth. As such, that’s not what I said.
I know (intellectually) that being authentic is always the best policy. But sometimes it seems at odds with other desires. For example, what if you get a gift you do not like for Christmas but you’re expected to pretend you do? What if you hate your boss but don’t want to start an open war conflict at work? What if you want to inspire someone to register in your coaching program but it looks like you’re not applying the principles you teach 100% of the time?
What I am seeing more and more is that all these apparent conflicts are really just that: apparent. Something the mind will create because it cannot see the bigger picture. But until we are ready to be true to ourselves above all, there is not opportunity for Divine Will to solve the superficial conflict for us. Which is where we get confused.
We think that we have to be honest AND resolve the conflicts that it might engender. But that’s not the case. The only thing we have to do is be ourselves. The conflicts will ALL be resolved by Divine Will. It’s simply not our job to do this. And to attempt it will make this a lot harder than it needs to be.
In case you’re wondering, this was my answer to her question: "No, I don’t trust 100% of the time that Divine Will is taking care of me. But I don’t think that’s the goal either. My objective is to be as trusting as I can be, as often as I can. I see it more like a batting average that you keep getting higher and higher, knowing that you might hit a bad day once in a while. I use to average 10% trust, now I average 85% trust. As such, I feel I am applying what I teach 100% of the time".
She didn’t register for the coaching program yet, but I got this great post out of the phone call. See, Divine Will DID solve my conflict

Elise,
Working on developing my website and immersed in research. My best friend is an Empathy Coach and I never thought of myself as particularly empathetic (is that a word) but after reading your site I realize I may be. I do feel intensely what others feel and I can’t shake those feelings for a number of days. I have set up boundries for myself when it comes to taking in too much information.
For a few years, I had the ability to do psychic work and heard voices from the other side. I heard these voices since childhoold but I was forbidden by my parents to discuss them. My father said the men in the whie coats would come and take me away.
I also stopped giving readings because they made me physically ill although I had a waiting list of clients who wanted me to sit with them.
I studied Death & Dying with Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and wrote a book using our inner child as the guide. I also taught a higher consciousness program for children ages 5-12 in Malibu. I recently left the corporate world after 20 years to pursue my life’s purpose. I graduated from CTI (Coaches Training Institute) in Marin, Ca. and now teach and coach in No. California. I am very interested in pursuing this part of myself I didn’t know I had.
I think that the trickiest part: realizing that we are an Empath
Fortunately, you seem to be surrounded by people who can help you! I have put together a page of resources for Empaths on my web site at
