Do I trust myself enough to trust another?

Now there is a question we should ask ourselves before we ask if we can truly trust another human being. I will be the first to tell you that putting your trust in another person is one of the hardest things to do. You are almost forced to trust your mate because of the “you can’t love someone if you don’t trust them”. You believe that you love this person so therefore you must let go of yourself completely and trust them. Let’s start with defining trust. What is trust to you? Ask yourself that. Can I trust this man or woman with the passwords to my accounts? Can I trust him or her with my credit card information? Can I trust them with my deepest secrets? Can I trust them to be honest? Trust can be a very tricky thing because the line between trust and stupidity can be very thin. What is the answer you ask? Trust yourself. You are not always going to get it right. You will make some mistakes along the way but the most important thing is to learn from those mistakes. Learn your body, your mind, your soul, and your heart. They give you signs when something is not right. Do not ignore those signs. When you trust yourself, then and only then can you begin to trust another.
