Discussing:

CHAPTER 6: TRUST - Are You Willing to Risk?

With this chapter I am just sharing some quotes I really liked.

"The gift of trust is a statement about our relationship. It empowers the other person and expands his or her possibilities." (p.85)

"Trust is the soul itself of a successful relationship." (p.89)

"At the center of trust we find surrender. The ability to let go has a profound and revolutionary effect on us. We realize that we cannot control everything, that we might as well abandon certainty - or the illusion of certainty - and that we can let ourselves go, accepting what life brings us." (p.90)

"Before all betrayals and all disappointments, there was a time in which trusting another was the very substance of our life." (p.92)

I don't think I'm a very trusting person. A little scary to just surrender...
