The More You Trust Yourself, The More You BLOOM

ONCE YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF LOVING YOURSELF, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LOVE ANYBODY. That is an absolute truth, there are no exceptions to it. You can love others only if you are able to love yourself.

BUT THE SOCIETY CONDEMNS SELF-LOVE. It says it is selfishness. It says it is narcissistic. Yes, self-love can become narcissistic, but it is not necessarily so. It can become narcissistic if it never moves beyond itself. It can become a kind of selfishness if it becomes confined to yourself. Otherwise, SELF-LOVE IS THE BEGINNING OF ALL OTHER LOVES.

A person who loves herself sooner or later starts overflowing with love. A PERSON WHO TRUSTS HERSELF CANNOT DISTRUST ANYBODY -- even those who are going to deceive her, even those who have already deceived her. Yes, she cannot even distrust them -- because now she knows trust is far more valuable than anything else.

YOU CAN CHEAT A PERSON -- BUT IN WHAT CAN YOU CHEAT HER? You can take some money or something else from her. But a person who knows the beauty of trust will not be distracted by these small things. She will still love you, she will still trust you. And then a miracle happens: IF A PERSON REALLY TRUSTS YOU, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHEAT HER, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

It happens every day in your life, too. WHENEVER YOU TRUST SOMEBODY, IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO CHEAT YOU, TO DECEIVE YOU. Sitting on the platform in a railway station, and you don't know the person who is sitting by your side -- a stranger, a complete stranger -- and you say to hER, "Just watch my luggage, I have to go to purchase a ticket. Please, you just take care of the luggage." And you go. You trusted an absolute stranger. But it almost never happens that the stranger deceives you. She could have deceived you, if you had not trusted her.

Trust has a magic in it. HOW CAN SHE DECEIVE YOU NOW THAT YOU HAVE TRUSTED HER? How can she fall so low? She will never be able to forgive herself if she deceives you.

THERE IS AN INTRINSIC QUALITY IN HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS TO TRUST AND TO BE TRUSTED. And everybody enjoys being trusted, it is respect from the other person -- and when you trust a stranger it is more so. There is no reason to trust her, and still you trusted her. You raised the person to such a high pedestal, you valued the person so much, it is almost impossible for her to fall from that height. And if she falls, she will never be able to forgive herself -- she will have to carry the weight of guilt her whole life.

A PERSON WHO TRUSTS HERSELF COMES TO KNOW THE BEAUTY OF IT -- comes to know that the more you trust yourself, the more you bloom. The more you are in a state of let-go, relaxation -- the more you are settled and serene, the more you are calm, cool and quiet.

AND IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT YOU START TRUSTING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE -- because the more you trust, the more your calmness deepens, your coolness goes deeper and deeper to the very core of your being. And the more you trust, the more you soar high. A PERSON WHO CAN TRUST WILL SOONER OR LATER KNOW THE LOGIC OF TRUST. And then one day she is bound to try to trust the unknown.
