Day 345 of wisdom
“No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.”
Willa Cather
Trust is the firm belief in the reliability, truthfulness, or ability of someone or something, it is not a skill, a talent, a style, or a technique, it is purely of character. Every relationship is always founded and/or sustained by trust, be it family, friendship, business, or personal partnership, trust, the absence or presence of it can either make or mar a relationship. A relationship without trust is a relationship headed for the drains, but a relationship based on trust is a relationship without limits, it is a relationship that is destined to make great things happen.
As important as trust is, it is not to be cheaply bestowed upon everyone and anyone. As a matter of fact, no one however noble, seemingly reliable, or trustworthy should be too trusted. Before you trust someone, ensure you have known enough about such persons to the extent to which you can place your trust in him for that time. If someone was trustworthy yesterday, before you trust him again today be sure he is still the person you can trust because, people change and sometimes those changes are caused by factors they can't control and even if they can, changes are based on choices.
The finite nature of man makes him susceptible to some circumstances that can be beyond his control, so, as much as you should trust people, never rule out the possibility of being disappointed, it may be inevitable, yet, you must find someone to trust, you cannot be in a relationship and not trust the other party, although they must proof themselves trustworthy, and without relationships progress and success will only be a mirage. As Ernest Hemingway would say, "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them." You don't know if someone is trustworthy if you don't trust them, trust begat trust.
One person you can always trust is yourself, even though you can disappoint yourself, you still always have to trust yourself to get to where you want to be. Your surest security is the trust in your ability, your talents, your skills, and your wit to do what you want do, and get to where you to get to. No other ally is as trustworthy as yourself, you are your own best ally. Whatever happens trust whoever deserves your trust, but as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe would say, "Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live".
