Self Deceit

Where does the distrust come from? Is it the result of a dysfunctional childhood? or perhaps broken promises that leave us scarred and guarded. Maybe it steams from lies that we believed as truths, and once exposed our world came tumbling down. 

It does not matter what caused the distrust. But, it is important that we identify the things in our lives which cause us to close ourselves off from having satisfying relationships.

A satisfying relationship is based upon mutual friendship, and deep intimacy. These relationship cause us to be encouraged uplifted, and operating at maximum potential.

For example, a plant with the right amount of sunlight and H20, will flourish and the root will remain strong, but if the plant is put into an environment that lacks sunlight and the proper nourishment the plant can not flourish.

It is safe to say, that relationships based upon manipulation, self gratification, and abuse will not flourish, and these types of relationships along create broken homes and emotional destruction. The health or unhealthiness of a relationship effects everyone involved.  So, take the necessary steps to face your issues of distrust. Below is a list that can help you overcome distrust.

1. Identify where your mistrust comes from.

2. Define the type of relationships you want in your life.

3. Evaluate the relationships in your life? Does this relationship involve (mutual friendship, does the  relationship keep you uplifted, encouraged, or challenged to reach your highest potential).

4. Separate yourself from destructive relationships in your life (abuse, manipulation).

5. Gradually, begin to build new relationships, based on the type of relationships your want in your life.

6. Periodically perform an evaluation of the relationships in your life.

Remember, relationships helps us to grow, and we learn from both the bad and good experiences. Let’s grab hold of the relationships that cause us to reach our fullest potential and development.

Sometimes, a bad relationship can wreck havoc on our health, so make sure the relationships in your life are not wearing your body down as well as your mind.
