Trust
Entirely or not at all.
Hello again, Team.
The Uncommon Journal
The only difference between who you are and who you want to be,
is time and consistency.
John Maxwell
This Week’s Thoughts
Let’s be honest- Most people do not have your back, it is common man thinking to believe they do.
They have their own back, will work tirelessly to advance themselves, and sadly will sell you out to the boss in 2.5 seconds for a chance to earn brownie points.
However, do not spite them for their selfish ambition, simply be frustrated you gave away your trust so easily in the first place- and do not do it again.
The whole premise of The Uncommon Journal is to contradict our flawed ideology, and focus on how to be strong in a world that is constantly testing our strength.
Who can you trust these days?
Trust your family.
Trust your friends who have always been there for you.
Trust people who always tell the truth no matter what.
Trust the people who embody how you want to live.
As life goes on, I am unfourtunately seeing more infidelity than my adolescent self ever could have believed existed. Ponder this- If someone will cheat on their spouse and the parent of their children - how loyal do you think they will be to you in business?
Choose your business partners wisely.
I heard a story once from a buddy was trying to quit drinking, and his friend who did not care that he was trying to give up alcohol, kept pushing, “Just have one with me…just one…for old times’ sake.” A friend who is pushing you to go against what you want to achieve is not a friend, but a thief. Someone who is robbing you of your potential- This is not someone you can trust.
Trust people who want what is best for you, not matter how it affects them.
Been looking at life different lately as it seems the circles we keep are getting smaller, and the inside is not always the place to be.
So for now- Trust yourself, your gut, and your heart…and if you get stabbed in the back, just smile and do not let them see your tears- Strong people never reveal a tell on their next move.
Because once a rat shows you their cards, you will always know how to play them.
Control your emotions. Control your world.
Stay Smart.
Stay Strong.
Stay Positive.
