255. Trust

In the final analysis, if it does not suit someone to be trusted, you will not be able to trust them. Trust is conditional. Trust is always temporary and it must be weighed freshly every time it is applied for. Circumstances change and just because someone was trustworthy in the past does not mean they can be trusted again. Trust is not automatic. Never allow your granting of it to be done mechanically. Make sure that your trusting is a conscious act. Trust works two ways. Once broken, trust can never be fully regained.

254. Have Your Dreams

Always have great dreams. One day, you will realise them so long as you set goals and make realistic plans. Once you have realised them, replace them with even greater dreams. Until you have realised the dream, be clear in your mind that it isa dream dnd do not take it for reality. Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes fixed on your goals.
