Trust is an essential virtue to a balanced and enjoyable human life.

Trust has several ramifications.

It related to the faith in God, in His wisdom, and His justice.

Grounded in this feeling, man finds the strength to overcome the challenges that come on his way.

He does not feel the victim of accidents or mishaps.

He understands that life follows a rich program of learning and improvement.

In this context, the difficulties represent blessed opportunities.

Through them, one readjusts with the past and gets empowered to the future.

The current life is a bridge between two realities.

The past lies with the errors inherent to a learning time.

The future is rich in promises of joy and sublimation.

But trust also refers to the science of its own possibilities.

It derives from faith in the Divine Wisdom.

If God has given consent to the life experience of a creature, it is because it can handle it.

This is of course not referring to the miseries that man sows in his own journey.

But it refers to what appears inevitable, despite the balanced and upright conduct.

Man, along with a strong faith in God, needs to trust in his own strength.

Aware of its sublime destiny, he must believe that he can deal with his problems.

He is not a helpless weak victim.

He is an immortal Spirit, rich of experiences and potential.

Aware of his potential, it is for him to find the means.

Faced with difficulties, the human being is not allowed to take the posture of defeat.

It is also not honorable for him to transfer the weight of his own burden to others.

Each one has his own deeds.

Mutual help is possible and praiseworthy.

But it can never be transferred to a neighbor the burden of somebody else's life.

One must study, work, think, and pray.

With a serene soul and the certainty that you can win and act firmly towards it.

Who does not trust in himself is defeated beforehand.

Even if one fights a little, one fails to overcome any setbacks.

But the believer in his own strength, though he may fall, he will soon rise again.

Thus, without trust, man does nothing relevant.

For all that has importance does not appear or realize quickly.

It always takes effort, practice, and patience.

Without the certainty of what is possible, it lacks the courage to tread the necessary steps to achieve the final objective.

If success does not happen immediately, the forces die.

Aware of this, develop your self-confidence.

Take a close look at your skills and invest in them.

The result of serious and methodical effort will surprise you.
