It is one of our core feelings.
However it seems like learning to recognise and work with all our feelings (ie becoming emotionally intelligent) we need to use our heart and our head to arrive at what authors Stephen M.R Covey (son of the late Stephen Covey) and Greg Link define as 'smart trust'.
Without trust there would be nothing done or safe in our day to day world...so we all have to trust to some degree.
Covey and Link offer an excellent matrix to describe the 4 types of trust based on our levels of propensity to trust & analyse:
- Quadrant 1: Blind trust: all heart & no head = gullibility
- Quadrant 2: Smart trust: head & heart in equal parts = judgement
- Quadrant 3: No trust: no head & no heart = indecision
- Quadrant 4: Distrust: all head & no heart = suspicion
So far in the 3 chapters I have learned heaps & it staggers me that this vital emotion is only really being written about now..or is it that I have just woken up to the importance of trust finally in my life & all the relationships I form.
What do you think?

PS I did a consultation with a person who shares my vision. Healthy at 100..inspiring to hear someone else expects to be living that way as well..there is absolutely no reason why that is not possible. [check out the Blue Zones research].
