Do you have issues trusting other people? Are you positive that the only one you can count on is yourself? You are probably right if you look hard enough!

Some people argue that you have to trust other people in order to live a happy, fulfilling life. While that may be true to a certain extent because you can’t shut everyone out, you can’t overlook the importance of trusting yourself first and foremost.

So often we get side-lined by others. They mislead us, whether intentionally or not, and cause us to go down the wrong path. Before we know it, we’re in the middle of something we swore we’d never do, wondering how we got there, often blaming others for our disorientation or failures.

While clearly not everyone has ulterior motives, the problem comes in when we don’t listen to and trust ourselves from the beginning, often going along with another despite knowing it is misaligned with our own intentions.
