“And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too – even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling”. -Mitch Albom
How often do you arrive at a point in your life where you’re unsure if you’re coming or going? Whenever this happens, its helpful to step back, inhale, exhale, then reflect. When was the last time you had a real plan? If you would like people to trust your judgement about what is good for you, and perhaps your family, then you first need to learn to trust yourself. This isn’t something you learn by reading a book. It’s a life skill you learn by taking risks and also by living with the consequences.
Sure, books can help you open your mind to possibilities you hadn’t thought about before. This can be a good thing. Yet, The Secret to living a better life involves learning how to read into yourself, your emotions, your vibes and intuition. you can read about love, but your impression of that experience can be very different in the real world involving real people. Your imagination will always project the experiences you think you deserve. When you feel unhappy about some outcome, what does this tell you about how well you know yourself? What does this tell you about opportunities to learn valuable, new things?
No matter what transpires in your life, you can be grateful for the will to explore what works and what doesn’t work. You can choose to trust people and this can turn out well. You can also choose to trust people who betray, harm you or steal from you. These kinds of people probably don’t share your understanding of compassion and trust. Yet, these are also the sort of people who most need to learn compassion and trust. Repeated rejection contributes to who they are. As you learn to trust yourself, or refine the nature of your trust, this has implications for more than just your own future.
