Who do you trust? Everyone? No one? Some people? Sometimes?Indeed, 'learning to trust is one of life's most difficult lessons,' says #1 New York Times bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant. 'That's because trust is not a verb; it's a noun. Trust is a state of mind and being. If you are serious about learning to trust, you need TNT - Tenacity, Nerve and Time. But what if the real problem is not that we can't trust other people; it's that we can't trust ourselves?' In this compelling volume, filled with illuminating and heartrendingly powerful stories of broken trust, betrayal and triumph, Iyanla demonstrates why the four essential trusts - Trust in Self, Trust in God, Trust in Others and Trust in Life - are like oxygen: without them, none of us can survive. TRUST IN SELF worthy of your own time, energy, attention and love. Trust yourself because when all else fails, when everyone else has fallen by the wayside, you will know that you have always been and will always be there for you. TRUST IN GOD Trust in God because it is your sole purpose for being on the planet. Trust in God because when you cannot do it - whatever it is - for yourself, God can do it through you and for you. TRUST IN OTHERS Trust in others because it is the only way to fine-tune your instincts, deepen your ability to trust yourself and learn the depth of your capacity to love and forgive. TRUST IN LIFE Trust the process of life because it is an incredible journey of wonder, adventure and evolution that you can experience only in direct proportion to your willingness to trust it. This wise work will inspire you to 'take the leap of trust', because without trust there can be no peace of mind.
