When we step foot into change, being surrounded by many unknowns can get scary. In moments like these, we are often tempted to follow the famous counsel to pretend until we learn the ropes. But often, this pretending becomes the source of our anxieties and fuel our fears. 

The Yama of Satya teaches us a beautiful lesson to be in alignment and acceptance of where we are in the given moment. 

It’s not so much about pretending as much as it is about trust and faith. When we begin to believe that we can achieve what we have set foot to achieve, the next logical step would be to pry out the courage that lies dormant deep into the depths of our beings, give it our best and surrender the rest to the workings of the universe. That which is ours will come to us in time. 

It’s not about faking.. it is, in the end, about BELIEVING.
