It took me a long time to learn that trusting too much and going in with your eyes closed is not a good thing.
Trust in itself is a good thing and nothing wrong with it but life gets hard when you do it like a child. Children trust whole-heartedly because of their innocence but as an adult, you get hurt when that trust is given freely.
There are people out there who take advantage of your trusting nature, people who don’t care or ones who don’t mind hurting you and that is where cautiousness comes in. Trust but pay careful attention to what is shown to you, question if you must and I find that to be a good thing, and most of all, trust has to be earned.
I learned it the hard way and these days I keep both eyes open and walk in like I’m walking into a minefield. I walk through carefully hoping and praying that I’m doing the right thing and I don’t blown to bits by doing so!
So far, so good. 🤞
What life lesson did you learn too late?
