I feel the older I get the more I stop listening to my hearth and listen more to my fears. I've tried really hard to act honestly and with good will in order to have a guilt free conscience and feel truly fullfiled, but I've been betrayed so many times by family, friends, and people in general that I have generated resentement and lack of trust. I have to stay very alert in case people are being selfish and disohonest, I am tired of not being able to just realx into the world and trust and I am tired of people that kick you in the back when you lend them a hand.

Allow me to quote Emerson:
"Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays."

Thoughts are energy and when we only think about what someone might do to us we are only attracting that kind of behavior . When we believe that people are mostly good and pretty much like we are they seem to act accordingly .
We attract what we think about all day long .
They're are quite a few good books out there to reinforce positive attitude . Good luck !

HOW TRUE ! I swear this sounds just like me...
I think we will always be let down by people. The one that's worst for me is when I'm lied to, I just hate that. I always try to be as honest and trustworthy as possible to everyone, but I'm always being taken for granted for it. And finding someone who is honest is really hard !
Anyway like I said we will always be let down by people, but I know that Jesus will never let us down, He is my shield, my hope and I can always count on Him to make me feel better.
And the greatest thing is, He will help me stay the way I am instead of changing like the others who let me down...I NEVER WANT TO BE LIKE THAT !
God Bless and I know it works for me, and if you give it a try I know it will work for you too...
Good Luck !
