Taylor Swift’s new album “Midnights” just dropped this week and there's one line that really caught my attention: “Everyone will betray you.”
I would guess that happens to all of us at some point in life. People will disappoint us. And we have a choice at how we're going to look at life, how we're going to deal with what's coming.
We can be like Taylor Swift’s antihero alter ego and go through life believing that everyone will betray us. On the other hand, we can go through life expecting the best of people, knowing that occasionally we'll will be disappointed, but still being able to enjoy our relationships and trust each other, even with a couple of bumps in the road from time to time.
It may not be perfect, but it beats the alternative.
