Trust

As time goes by, I'm often reminded of just how important this ingredient is in life. Regardless of the type of relationship, it's essential to know that everyone is acting in good faith.

Granted, there are different perspectives and sometimes we may be having a challenging day/month/year, but on the whole we should be able to conduct ourselves authentically and with compassion.

How simple life would be if we all could do so. And how wonderful a world we'd have if everyone could respect and trust one another. (While an idealistic vision, one can dream right? :)

I'm with you Pansy girl. Not to mention, for those people who are not trust worthy, think how exhausting thier lives must be.

Hmmm...I can only imagine what has brought about this reflection on trust.

The importance of trust cannot be overemphasized. We all need to act in a manner that warrants the trust of others.

We also must learn how to forgive ourselves and others when a trust is broken. We should not forget but we should forgive

Sometimes, I think, the hardest part is trusting yourself and listening to your instincts. I bet when we're in tune with and trust our own instincts we can read those un-trustworthy sorts and steer clear! Thanks for the reminder to pay attention and trust my instincts!
