Trust to Empowerment

Trust is fickle (been itching to use that word).  We give it.  We tell people they need to earn it.  We test it.  We take it away.  We use it to manipulate.  To taunt.  We question it.

I don't know why I lacked trust after Kevin died.  Kevin never did anything to ruin my trust.  I lost my trust in life and dreams though.  Death pretty much ruined my ability to trust what I expected out of life and what I could control in life; which is nothing by the way.

So why should we trust?  Why risk it?

Because love is worth it.

Dreams need to be pursued in order for great things to happen.

Trusting someone means empowering them to achievement.

The more we trust, the greater power we give one another, which isn't a bad thing.  Trusting someone isn't giving them the power to hurt you or the power to ruin something.  Trusting someone says to them that you see them, their feelings, their skills, as a worthwhile investment.  When someone trusts me, it pushes me to do great things because they are giving me that opportunity.

Who are you trusting, or not?  Why?  What are so afraid of?
