Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 523 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Trust is such a difficult concept to put into our lives at certain times, but here is the part about trust that you need to understand: no matter how much we would like to believe otherwise, trusting someone else is really a matter of trusting ourselves.
When we trust another person, what we are really trusting is our evaluation of his or her trustworthiness, and when our trust in another person is questionable or shaken, what is shaken is our capacity to trust our own judgement. That’s who we are. So trust is always within us. It depends on how we use it, not so much on the other person, but on whom and what we trust in.
This is sometimes difficult to accept but we must ultimately realize that trust is an inside job. You don’t have to be suspicious of others but you have to know who you are and what is inside of you. You don’t have to be so worried about others. What they do, is what they do. You don’t have control of that, absolutely none. You can’t control their thoughts, their intents, or even their actions, but if you know who you are and you have that trust within yourself, then this is all that matters.
Trust of another is not something that is all or nothing, either granted or refused. But trust is how you evaluate your experience based on what you’ve learned. It’s you, it’s not them. So work on that, and understand that if you have the ability to trust others, it is because of you and if you are not sure of them, then hold that trust back. But have the confidence within you first before you look at them. That will make a big difference in your life, and certainly make things much easier to understand. Experiences you go through, whatever they do should not have an effect on your trust and what you believe.
