Most of us have felt like our trust has been compromised at some point in our lives.
Needless to say, these experiences can be very painful.
Perhaps we’re still scared to trust again.
We think to ourselves, “Who can I trust?
And how do I know I can trust them?”
But trust is one of those things that we can’t just skip over.
It’s acrucial ingredient in our relationships; some call it the foundation.
Without it, it’s really difficult to settle in and just love.
Here, the eight truths of trust.
We have all suffered in some way, and we have all felt pain in relationships.
Basically: We’re all in the same boat.
I say this because it’s comforting to realize that we’re not alone.
(We’re in this together, people!)
We’ve all been hurt, and we’re all trying to avoid that happening again.
And this is the problem.
Because there are never any guarantees.
And this is an impossible task.
And guarantees are definitely not found in our love relationships.
We’re way too complex for that.
We feel these feelings regardless of who we are with.
Not because we are with untrustworthy people but because we are humans.
Trusting is a decision you must make knowing that there aren’t any guarantees.
If we relate to trust through this perspective, then trusting becomes much easier.
This helps us feel empoweredand, therefore, a little more trusting and a little less fearful.
Again, we all have reasons not to trust.
We all have a long list!

By mistakes I mean we hurt others, we don’t act in our highest integrity.
Fear makes us act out.
And if you’rebeing honest with yourself, you know that you’ve likely done this too.
It’s unfortunate but true.
The takeaway
Trusting is not about choosing the right person.
I mean, it is a choice, so try not to choose blindly.
And I know that ultimately, my well-being is up to me."

It is also very doable.
