Whom should we trust in our lives

The best application of trust:

• Unshakeable faith in God as someone our own and the one who is there in all good and bad times, our companion, savior and awakener from mistakes.
• And HIS systems and laws that whatever circumstances come in our life, those are for our long term good irrespective of whether we are able to connect or not.
• Trust in Self for executing well-thought plans and building healthy habits and removing bad ones. Confidence in directly proportional to the amount of trust in self.
• Trust in the Karma, which weaves our destiny and keep working sincerely and in non-attached way. What we sow, so shall we reap.
• Trust in the goodness of every being at the core self, people might have issues and weaknesses but that’s their conditioned behavior but not true identity. So we must believe in essence and innocence of all beings. This non-judgmental awareness towards self and others is great mute service to all including self. It inspires and creates loving environment for learning and growth. Love, compassion and forgiveness is great gift for all and that can be developed using non-judgmental awareness, if we trust totally in goodness in the center of all beings.

Apart from these there is no need to trust but only self-wisdom ( the extract of all life experiences ) is sufficient in freeing up our bonds from unwanted things and behaviours and managing day2day challenges.

One more imp point — In case we are deceived by others or used by others for selfish interests then we must examine our side of things. There may be some greed in us too that was used as vehicle by other person to hijack our alertness to stop at right time. Moreover, we can cure and control our side of things only. Once we have healthy attitude of love and compassion to all then there will be rare or no occurrences of being cheated or misused. We expect nothing mean from others so never get bad surprises. Serving and sharing itself is great satisfaction to us.
