Trust

Trust......

Such a small word so simple and yet so full of meaning. To everyone it has a different depth of meaning. And for each person as they look upon those in their life the word trust evokes a different feeling.

We have those in our life that we trust implicitly without question, without doubt, without reservation. Those people are a rare find and when found we hold onto them with both hands and our whole heart. Some people never find that person, ever. I have thankfully.

We have those people in our life that we have grown to trust, the people we take a deep breath find our faith, bare our souls to and trust because without that leap of faith life would be a far lonelier place. These people aren't easy to find either because finding them means having faith in yourself that you can make a sound decision I have a few of these people in my life and I'm grateful for them my life is far more full with them than without them.


We have those people we used to trust but no longer do. They are still in our life, still part of our present, still part of our now and most likely still part of future but never part of our circle of trust. They are on the outside a reminder of why trust is so sacred, of how trust can be broken, of how it can be abused. Trust is fragile something to be nurtured, it requires give and take, or like anything else it dies. I also have these people in my life. I could force them out of my life surely but it is a far better thing to keep them here as that reminder to be mindful, watchful and ever careful with my trust.

The most important trust of all, is the deepest kind of trust. Trusting yourself. Listening to the voice inside of you. This is the hardest trust to obtain. Before you can trust yourself you have to be brutally honest. You can't lie to yourself and still trust yourself. Trusting yourself doesn't happen overnight. I'm working on it have been for some time now. I've found that on the road to doing so you think you're there and suddenly a new door opens up and you realize you have miles to go before your done.......
