🟩 Misplaced Trust

Nov 16, 2025 4:16 pm

Hi ,

There’s a sharp kind of sting that comes from misplacing your trust.

Whether it's trust in another person, or trust in yourself, the pain cuts differently, but it cuts deep.


When I’ve trusted the wrong person, I’ve learned to take responsibility quickly.

That doesn’t mean blaming myself for what they did.

It means noticing where I missed a signal, where I ignored my gut, or where I wanted something to work so badly that I looked the other way.


Owning that part helps me move faster toward resolution.

Fewer loose ends. Less lingering resentment.


But the harder one, by far, is when I realize I didn’t trust myself.


I ignored my experience.

I silenced my intuition.

I overrode a quiet no with a loud maybe.


And that voice in my head? It doesn’t whisper.

It blames. It criticizes. It lectures.


Let me tell you, self-compassion is far more difficult than extending compassion to others.

It’s not just a mindset shift.

It’s a practice.

A discipline.


One that I still work on.


When this kind of trust breaks, I often turn to things like strategy, structure, and old wisdom.

Books like The Art of War have helped me sort through the conflict.

Not just the conflict with others, but the one inside myself.


Because trust is not just about who you let in.

It’s about whether or not you believe your own compass still works.


And every time I come back to that compass, I try to listen a little more carefully than I did the time before.


Relentlessly dedicated to your profitability,
