10TH Secret—-THE POWER OF TRUST

Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Without it one person becomes suspicious, envious and fearful and the other person feels trapped and emotionally suffocated. You cannot love someone completely unless you trust him/her completely. Act as if your relationship with the person you love will never end. One of the ways you can tell whether a person is right for you is to ask yourself, do I trust them completely and unreservedly? If the answer is no, then think carefully before making a commitment. We are born with two eyes in front because we must not always look behind but see what lies ahead beyond ourselves. We are born with two ears, one left and one right, so that we can hear both sides, collect both the compliments and criticisms. We are born with a brain concealed in a skull, then no matter how poor we are, we are still rich and no one can steal what our brain contains. We are born with two eyes, two ears but one mouth for the mouth is a sharp weapon. It can hurt, flirt and kill: remember our motto—“Talk less listen and see more. We are born with only one heart, deep in our ribs and it reminds us to appreciate and give love from deep within.
