Empowering Self-trust

According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American writer, philosopher and orator, “Self-trust is the first key of success.”

Self trust is indeed an important ingredient of success, as I have used it to achieve all of my life’s success. Self-trust gives person a confidence that eliminates wasting of self energies and efforts because of worries and uncertainties. It maximizes and optimizes one’s strength and focus in achieving efficiently a certain goal. However, self-trust is not just an easy as you can instantly have it and tell the world that you trust yourself. Self-trust denotes a very difficult thing called “trustworthy”. Like other kinds of trust (i.e., trust for friends and other people), you cannot immediately trust anyone including yourself if they or you are not trustworthy. How can you trust a person who always breaks his or her promises to you? How can you possibly trust yourself if you always break your promises to yourself? How can you trust yourself if you are fun of cheating your self? How can you possibly trust yourself if you are indolent and wicked? Self-trust, to be the key of success must be a right trust to one’s self. It must follow self-trustworthy because a self-trust is worthless without trustworthy. To be trustworthy to ourselves, we should make ourselves honest, industrious and strong. And finally, we should follow our Almighty God, as He doesn’t lie and He is constantly truthful and powerful, so as His people can always trust and be faithful on Him.

Now, if you are industrious, personally strong, true to yourself and faithful to God, then we can say it’s noble for you to trust yourself.
