However, when I 'expect' others to be totally honest with me (only in a perfect world) and they aren't, then I feel betrayed. Depending on how deep the betrayal goes, it can result in frustration or anger or shattered dreams or hopelessness. Some circumstances and situations take a long time to heal, if we allow ourselves to do so. If we don't heal, we lose our dreams and we're just existing. The older I get, the more life lessons I receive. I think trust entails complete honesty with yourself and others.

As with others, it is a choice I make. I can trust myself to be the best I can, to learn every day, to be human. I set high expectations for myself, not impossible ones. Simple, growing, loving expectations. I find it much more fulfilling to also trust others. I choose to trust. 100% I am strong and can live with being let down. When I am, I remember it is my prerrogative to trust or not trust. The world behaves much the same, but seems so much lighter and full of possibility when I trust. I take care of myself and stay safe, which means I mistrust just a bit, just when necessary and just in the arenas where I am still insecure. I work every day to shrink those arenas: to feel capable of braving the world, trustingly, completely, joyfully! Trusting myself is so important. As with others, it is a choice I make.

I trust them to hurt me, frustrate me, and let me down”. Of course, this only happens if I expect perfection instead of receiving beautiful humanity. I think there is a voice deep inside that says whether people are basically “safe”, or not. There is a voice that guides a perfect destiny and in the end, a perfect legacy. People will be people, but trust is an inside job. I love your theme... “Lead From Within”. Thank you Lolly! I say, tongue in check, “I trust people one-hundred percent.
