Let’s take this time to focus our attention on the word TRUST. Who and why do we trust? To trust or not to trust…That IS the question. (I just had to throw that in there). Trusting another human being is like setting yourself up for failure.
The trust that we place in people can easily shatter since we all are naturally fickle and can change like the weather.
We want to believe that others will do as they say (or have said). We want to believe that the words being spoken to us are the real deal. We want to believe that the people we have chosen to allow into our lives have the same interest for our well being as we do theirs. There is a saying that i’m sure everyone has heard and it goes, “If you only trust yourself, no one can hurt you.”
TRUST YOURSELF. You can control the words coming out of your mouth. You can control the actions that you take. You can still choose to allow people into your life and care about them, just do not have expections that these people will offer anything of the same merit back to you.
Trusting yourself includes your thoughts (having your own mind), your actions (what you have control over), as well as your own judgment (preserving your dignity). Once you trust yourself, you will become the kind of person that you can be happy with for the rest of your life.
And if you can’t be happy with yourself, how do you expect anyone else to be happy with you?
Please note: I put my trust in the LORD. In HIS word, HE promises to never leave and HIS love is unconditional. (What more could I ask for?)
I FEEL YOU, THAT WHY PEOPLE PUT UP THESE EMOTIONAL BARRIERS TO PREVENT THE INEVITABLE…OR SO THEY BELIEVE.
