How does one trust another?

There are different types of trust. Many of us believe in the generalization of 'trusting' someone. This is not true. We trust different people with different things. Love. Friendship. Support. Advice. Guidance. Even hate. Yet as with everything in life, trust does not last forever. Many will get upset and angry when others lose trust or change their trust. We can not control this. Other's needs will change and so will the amounts of trust we instill into one another.

To trust someone you must see what offers are on the table. Then ask yourself what do you hope to gain from this person and can they give it to you. Do not place trust into someone or something that is unreliable in that trusting area. We will feel hurt and pain from others because of this little word, but the beautiful thing about trust is that it replenishes itself. We never run out of trust or the ability to forgive--if we are open to it. Yet different levels of trust may need to partner with hesitancy. Trust in life is not an easy giveaway. Nor is trust in everything. One thing you can trust is for people to be and do exactly as they please. And one person you can always trust is yourself.
