Speaking just for myself, choosing to trust someone elses judgement, even when my own rational mind would take me another direction is a huge leap. Even if I know their judgement is sound, it is still a leap. There are a billion layers to trust, but this is the one I would label for myself as most dificult. Faced with some choice, if my logical and rational self and gut say go left, and Sir says go right, there is a significant choice there, whether to trust and yeild my judgement to another or not. To me, it's not, "I trust you to make better choices than me." It's "I trust you and respect you enough to yeild to your wishes and judgement, knowing that if it is the wrong choice that you will do everything in your power to help me make things right." Feeling that level of trust with someone is an earned thing, I would agree. Deciding to rest in someone elses judement, even when it goes against your own does stike me as a leap of faith, and a gift. Thank you, for responding. :) I can certainly relate to what you’re saying about trust being hard to come by; having felt a good part of my life, like people have been offering me cookies, then slapping my hand when I reach in the jar to get one. I also understand what you are saying in reference to trust being a gift; it was like that for me, when I was owned. Sincerely, k
