Trust is often abused; we trust often and are hurt; we then use this as a reason we no longer can trust. What about this word scares so many into hiding who they indeed are? Be proud of your accomplishments and strengths and be kind to your weaknesses as we all have them. In our weakness, we find the strength and courage to move forward in life, holding onto what we have learned and are to know yet. Our imperfections make us who we are, combined with our strengths.

In trusting others, we must also be trustworthy to others. Be honest with our being and live life always to improve from yesterday. As a child, my father said the truth will always come out, so be open from the start. In doing this, you save yourself so much grief. In losing who we pretend to be, we also gain our true selves. Freedom of flying high, knowing our path is pure. Yes, we shall sometimes fall, but in our true selves, we can regain the strength to fly again.


It is so easy in today’s world to live many identities. We have our online persona, work persona, and actual being. The one we seldom let anyone get to know. The one with emotional baggage, sadness, and joy. The one with fears and hopes, dreams and goals. Why do we keep this one hidden so well? The person we are. To truly trust, we must first trust in ourselves to live a whole and real life to the core of our being. To trust is also to be trusted.
