‘In the midst of a difficult or challenging situation, don’t shut down, open up! Just when you think you can’t take any more, do any more, be any more, don’t give up, open up! When it feels like you are about to fall off a cliff, jump! When it looks like everything is falling apart, start rebuilding from the rubbbish and remnants of what is left. The only way to get to the next level is to go there.’- Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today!
The only way to get to the next level is to go there.’
Challenging times will come. Things will get tough. People will reject you. People will say things just to put you down, just to tear you down.
You will make mistakes. People will hurt you. But do not lose your heart. Believe in yourself.
Self-trust is everything. Because if you do not trust yourself, nothing will work.
Life happens when we trust ourselves.
Growth happens when we trust other people. And
Mistakes happen when we trust ourselves too much.
Self-trust is self-belief. When you trust yourself, you know who you are. You know what you can do. And you know what you cannot do.
When you trust yourself, you don’t pretend to be who you are not. You are just you. You know what is right, and you know also what is wrong.
You trust yourself when you believe in yourself, when you believe in your thoughts, when you believe in your decisions, when you believe in your dreams, and when you believe in your friends.
But is that all? No, there is more. We make mistakes when we trust ourselves too much. We trust ourselves too much when we don’t consider other people’s thoughts, their feelings, their actions. We trust ourselves too much when we make decisions without talking to people who have done what we are about to do.
As a being, you can trust yourself. But do not forget that you don’t know everything. If you want to see what is going on around you, you must bring other people to the table. Because no one is smart enough to know everythting. If you know everything, you trust yourself too much. It is dangerous. It is not healthy.
Do not trust yourself too much. You need other people. If you want to do something really big, don’t go it alone. Do not ignore other people. Talk to people who can help. Because we are better when do things together. We are smarter when we think together. I am not talking about group think. That is a whole new thing. I am not going there right now.
We are stronger when we learn from other people, when we make room for mistakes, when we face our demons. We are smarter when we are willing to receive what the world has for us.
We are better together than alone. We can do more when we trust other people, when we learn from other, and when we step out of our comfort zones.
Remember, self-trust is everything. Because if you do not trust yourself, no one will trust you. If you trust yourself too much, no one will follow you.
So if you want people to trust you, you must first trust yourself. And you must NOT trust yourself too much.
