Irrespective of what happened to you yesterday, irrespective of what you did to the world or what the world did to you, irrespective of anything and everything, you have to wake up every morning and trust this world all over again. It is easier said than done, but you don't have a choice because "Peace is entwined in your trust". Without trust there is no peace. Distrust leaves you distressed.
In seeing everyone as a potential cheater, you will miss a million good hearts. Not worth it. In search of one culprit, you will have to doubt every noble heart. Not worth it. Let us have security systems in place, let us have foolproof systems, let us raise above our vulnerabilities, let us lock the cars and tie the horses, but above all in the interest of our own peace, let us trust the world all over again.
One employee will betray your trust. Still trust the rest. One customer will default. Still trust the rest. One supplier will cheat. Still trust the rest. A key relationship will take your goodness to be your weakness, and your trust may be exploited. Wake up another morning and start trusting all over again. This may sound naive, but this is how you can approach the gates of peace, which opens only with the keys of trust.
It is not about whether the world is good or not, whether the world is trustworthy or not, but it is about whether you want to be peaceful or not. There is only one way to peace - TRUST.
Whenever you get cheated or betrayed or exploited or hurt, say to yourselves:" Thank God that I was cheated but I wasn't the cheat; I was betrayed, but I didn't betray; I was hurt, but I didn't hurt. Let me suffer the wrong, but never inflict the wrong." This will give you inner peace.
Let us assume every morning that the world will be trustworthy from today. In case the world betrays our trust, let us wake up to another day and trust this world all over again. A zillion times the world will live up to our trust and a few hundred times, it will let us down. The odds are tremendously in our favour.
Just learn to forget the past and trust this world again. Inner peace will follow you like a shadow.
