You may have difficulty believing in the integrity of the individuals around you today. A distrustful outlook can cause you to question the motives of treasured loved ones and the honesty of respected colleagues with whom you have successfully cooperated in the past. Since you are likely feeling highly suspicious, connecting with others on a personal or professional level can become impossible. Before you can regain your ability to work and play with people in your environment, you may need to acknowledge that wariness can be a positive trait but one that can be taken to far. Your ability to collaborate will likely be restored, leaving you free to explore the details of those situations you still find questionable. Consider, today, that trust and doubt can both add value to your life.

Our natural tendency to question the world around us can serve us well when we use it to detect situations in which there is a strong possibility we will end up hurt. While our ability to trust others often determines how well we can work and play cooperatively, we can maintain our faith in universal goodness without turning a blind eye toward individuals whose intentions are less than honorable. When we assess our circumstances realistically and are not afraid to admit that certain situations may be detrimental, we can enjoy the benefits of collaboration and taking risks yet still protect ourselves. Our willingness to express our doubts can keep us safe from physical, mental, and emotional harm. Your willingness to question that which you find suspicious today will ensure your security.
