9. Trust

What’s the Worst that Can Happen?: The most fundamental part of any relationship is trust. Yet, trusting others is often challenging because we’ve lost the ability to trust ourselves. Many of us end up in a self-fulfilling loop where we expect that people will inevitably disappoint us. We have the power to change this when we believe that no matter what, we will always be okay. And what’s more, the lesson will bring us closer to love than if we’d never tried it in the first place.
