Trust.

Wowzers.

This is a hard one.

At its base, trust is the belief that someone or something is reliable, honest, and will do what is expected. 

It’s essential to healthy relationships – both to trust, and to be worthy of being trusted.

We often say we can trust ourselves – but too often we act as if we don’t. We second-guess our instincts, we tell ourselves it’s our imagination. Our hearts are telling us again and again what is true, and we keep ignoring it.

We sometimes say we cannot trust others – but too often we give them more trust than they have earned. We draw a boundary – and they cross it. We draw it again – and they cross it again. And we make excuses for them.

Too often, we give more trust to others than we give to ourselves.

It’s high time that we rebuild our trust in ourselves, that we give ourselves as much, and more, trust than we give others.

We must remember that we are worthy of our own trust.

I hope these affirmations help you to remember.
