Who or What Do You Trust?
Manage episode 348416480 series 3322892
Who or what do you trust? Do you actually trust yourself? Or do you look outside of yourself for what others are choosing, saying, validating, or invalidating about you in order to fit their mold?
Key Takeaways:
- Trust is not blind faith. Don't make assumptions about people, see what they will actually choose.
- Trust starts when you are a kid and first learn how to navigate your life. Trust comes from experience.
- If you use your relationships to navigate who or what you are you must be subject to maintaining that relationship.
- The only person who truly knows who and what you are is you...period.
- Start asking yourself what you know and begin to experience the things you believe you'd like to have in life.
- If you truly trust yourself, you can never actually fail.
- Trust is one of the ways to get out of the side effects and symptoms of having been gaslighted.
- The only way to create a life worth living is to first know what you would like to have.
Exercise:
Give yourself 5 minutes and ask yourself:
- What do I know about business?
- what do I know about money?
- What do I know about relationships?
- What do I know about family?
- What do I know about myself?
The only answer you cannot use is "I don't know." As you're writing your list be present and have a look at what comes up for you in these areas. Is the first thing that comes to mind what you know and what you believe or is it all the things you don't know and can't believe? Is it all about the problems or the possibilities? This isn't about what's wrong with you, it's about getting clear in your life.
