WELL, WHO CAN YOU TRUST ?

                           

                            Well, my sailing instructor for one.  Because if not him.........who?

And why wouldn't I trust him.  He is young, he is gorgeous, and he is competent.  Not only that, he is determined to be his best, reading up on The Secret, Anthony Robbins, and anything else that is recommended. 

However, how do you really know when to trust somebody?  I have always trusted my own feelings, and without exception, any time I've ignored that little niggle, everything has gone down the pan.  Take this example for instance.  A long time business and personal acquaintance sweet talked me and managed to convince me he was very much on the level.  I made it quite clear I had no time for any lies and was never willing to compromise on values and standards.

I saw something in him that really made me question how on earth I had never seen this warm supportive caring part of him before.

But of course he couldn't keep up the image.  Darn it!  I thought I'd found a really special guy.  Darn it!  He only  confirmed yet again that my intuition and my perceptions of individuals are usually without fail 100% correct. The disappointment is huge, both in myself, in life, and especially in him.  And it rocks the confidence levels.

Yes, he's a liar.  No he probably can't manage his life.  Yes he's a mess.  Yes I'm really cross I fell for it.  And yes, I will at some point feel sorry for him.  Maybe.  I will certainly feel sorry for all the other women who are taken in by him.  And they will be.

So, who can you trust?  I haven't a clue.  Just be guided by the internal reaction you have when you meet somebody and know that usually first impressions do really count.  Even if they tick all the boxes, and your feelings tell you different........go with your feelings.
