Trust

Trust is a major part of life & having any sort of meaningful relationships. I recently told my story to someone I care about & they asked me if it has affected my ability to trust others. I did not even have to really think about this question for more than a split second. The reason is that, even though something very wrong happened, I want to be in control of my emotions & my life.

I know that if I took time beyond the time I took to heal from the experience I would ultimately be giving up my power over my own feelings. The fact is that any time we hold onto bitter feelings & allow them to bring us down we are giving away our power & ability to be happy & that is not fair to us. Bad things happen to good people & to bad people. That is just the way the world works. Harboring negative emotions about these things just gives those who wrong us power & they don't deserve anything from us more than to remember how we got into the situation that hurt us so we can avoid the same thing again.

I chose to not be shaped by the world around me, but to rise above the influence & be the change I want to see in the world. I will go to school & become a physician, start the children's charity I want to, & give back to as many children as I can in my life. I will change the world one person, one life at a time & that is what I hope for. Anything beyond this is a victory beyond my hope, but never touching my dreams so that my dreams stay big & my heart remains happy & open. How are you changing the world? Could you do more? Peace, LOVE, & Happiness to you all!!!

Bless You!
