Trust


Many of us today did  trust in other people blindly  so much that we never thought they will do us any wrong or betray us, but they did.

They took advantage of our naivety and our complete believe in them to control and manipulate us into getting what they want from us, after that,  they left us alone in the cold. All because we trusted them.We were naive to trust in the wrong people. Period!

On the other hand, we were the ones people trusted so much and yet we let them down and disappointed them.
To their suprise, they may have been expecting the disappointment and the betrayal to come from a complete stranger they don't know, but it came from us.

We all at one point in our lives have been victims and offenders in this game of trust.

It is better to tell a bitter truth to a person you love so he can cope in difficult situation in life and be self reliant and independent in all things than to tell a sweet lie that will cause someone to depend on you or trust you completely because you gave an exaggerated assurance that you can help or you can be trusted.
In simple words, let your Yes be a Yes and your No be a No.
That way you will be seen to be more trustworthy, reliable and transparent in all your affairs.
Often times, we take our words and promises lightly but if only we knew, they have the tendancy to make or break relationships. To you, who easily trust and place confidence in people because they seem to be very nice, friendly and helpful towards you, becareful!

People can be mean and manipulative sometimes especially if they are pushed against a wall with no options. They might give you up to save themselves at one point if the need arises. As humans, we all have self instincts, so don't be so naive to put your trust in people too much else you will be disappointed when you least expect.
Appearances of people can be deceptive.

To guard your heart and strengthen your mind, learn to be objective in your thinking and in assessing people. Be truthful and honest with everyone. And put on the mindset of a devil's advocate all the time;
The same people who are cheering me today, will be the same people to ridicule me if I am to fail or fall. This should be your backup.
Life isn't fair as we all have come to know by now.
Don't put your trust in anybody just anyhow.
We all have our heavy burdens in life to carry.
I hope this message helps people dealing with trust issues and dealing with the pains of a broken heart. I pray you can find closure in these words whoever you are.

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...

Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself. He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world. But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!! His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations y...
