Try this. Stand in front of the mirror and say “I trust you completely” while looking into your own eyes.
You will learn something about yourself.
I have had some issues in the trust department. Seems some of people I chose to open up to ended up being temporary people in my life. People who just passed through on their way to somewhere else.
My biggest hurts have come from the decisions I made to judge these abbreviated relationships as wrong. They weren’t wrong as much as they were just different than what I expected and hoped for.
I have longed for closeness and connection for most of my life and yet I have also struggled to be open and vulnerable. I remember being shocked to learn that if I wanted a man who was open, vulnerable and emotionally available, there was one big obstacle I had to get around first. I needed to be willing to be open, vulnerable and emotionally available myself. Yikes.
My relationships are like a house of mirrors. Some of what I see still scares me and I feel I am careening like a ball in a pin ball machine. I am also beginning to see humor in other relationships and I am laughing more at the sheer silliness of some of the daily drama.
To think….it is only reflections of me distorted by imperfections in the glass. I am seeing myself differently when I review my steps to see what got me here. I am attracting more and more of Larry’s gentlest and kindest self and it is delicious.
If you are one who answered no to my question and you don’t trust anyone yet. And you know this is true even though you wish it wasn’t. I have a bit of cheer leading for you. You will be amazed at how easy it can be to take baby steps in opening yourself up to the right person.
As you move forward using the principles of the Law of Attraction and tuning in with clarity and passion, you are going to attract the highest and best of the people who cross your path.
There will be a person who shows up to help you practice your skills. You will know this person because of how wonderful you feel when you spend time together. I know you have been hurt before when you trusted someone but you are different now.
You are stronger and you always land on your feet. Go ahead and move toward a friendship. Take it slow and enjoy getting to know the other person. Everyone has a story, take time to listen to this new person’s story. Ask a lot of questions.
If everything feels smooth, lean in to the connection a little and test the waters. You will be surprised how easy it is to attract the highest and best in people. Practicing kindness and curiosity is the quickest and easiest way to form mutually beneficial connections.
Building trust is the very best investment you can make.
