Do you trust your heart? yourself?
For so long, I have relied on my mood, aka my mental state at the moment of action.
Lucky me...I'm usually happy and ready to conquer the world. This has served me well, and I was convinced that I had everything under control, never doubting myself.
My pattern of being and doing what was expected of me was impeccable. So yes, I did trust myself to do the right thing!
Now, as someone living in this uncertain world, I have to put another safety net in place.
Integrity
to be and do what I say I'll do, and to keep my promises.
This requires the utmost level of discipline! Because misleading yourself is so easy, and feeling sorry for things beyond your control is a defense mechanism we employ to combat our predisposition to criticize ourselves.
We did a good job training this part of our brain.
And today, when I'm asked, "Do you trust yourself?" I say yes, not because of my ego but because of the pattern I've established.
"Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not. '
Oprah Winfrey

11 个月Thanks Semayawit for the interesting beautiful thoughts… Just want to comment about one word widely misused due to historical accumlated culture about it…heart? Heart as an organ has one function, which is pumping the blood ??! Even the word, heart, in the holly books mistakenly taken to mean the blood pump while the correct intended meaning is the brain ?? I trust my brain / mind, the central control unit responsible for my decisions whether in business or love or anything! To me there is a big difference between the heart the brain and heart the blood pump! Do you?

11 个月I assume you meant ‘will I be trust worthy or have integrity of character’ , not very sure. But if my other partner can qualify to the above and show me love, I will be very trustworthy . I will feel guilty conscious to go astray.
