How can I trust you, when I don't even trust myself?
It’s a funny thing, trust.
“A firm belief in reliability in someone or something”
I am not sure I have ever experienced that.
Human error. I have seen it, I have done it.
When does trust account for that?
“Trust me!” “Trust in the product" “Trust that it will be fine.”
I hear that all the time, but my trust has been broken countless times.
“Trust your gut” I’ve said it, but did I mean it?
My gut is human too. My gut is wrong too. My gut fails me too.
How can I trust them, when I don’t even trust myself?
Confidence. I’d rather have that. Confidence, is flexible.
“Be sure about the abilities or good qualities of somebody/something”
I have confidence I can eat this, because I have confidence in the product.
Confidence is made up of experiences, of behaviours.
Building confidence is an on going process.
It comes with time, it comes with failures and successes.
Confidence is made and not a given.
Trust can be broken but, confidence can be knocked.
Confidence ebbs and flows.
Confidence is hopeful and aware of the consequences.
I want to be confident in myself and others.
I gain confidence every day, every bite, every interaction.
I am confident. But I don’t trust that.
