The book opens up with the several question sentences leading readers to think that what their own answers should be are:

Who do you trust?

Everyone?

No one?

Some people?

And

Sometimes?

I have never been to America; thus I am so blind what the young men often do when they want to show and share their tales! However, this book helps me understand lives in the US and what they do such as these lines;

Young men often congregate on the street corners of towns and cities in every state to share tales of who they are and hope to be.
“They trust that their robust youth and bravado as well as the volume of their testosterone-laden speech will reassure their mamas not to worry about them and will also give notice to those who are up to no good that they are a presence to be reckoned with….; trusting the worst or their thoughts about them, they become self-appointed judge and jury, rendering justice blind.”
Am…according to the states mentioned above, should we re-think and research more what the exact they, a group of young men, do; then it might find light at the end of the tunnel. On the other hand, in these days, there are lots of social networks for keeping in touch or meet each other. In this way, life will be far away from any incident happen, - That’s my personal addition.

Once I have reached my reading to some other more pages. It said;

“Lord’s commandments to love thy neighbor as thy self.”

Oh yeah, what a wonderful world would look like! - if everyone just follows his precepts.

No weapons! No armed forces! No killing!

Nevertheless, what is the reality today? Whenever I watch TV or reading the newspaper, it shows me some of tragedy news most always. It hurts me.

I hope this book, Trust: Mastering the 4 Essential Trusts: Trust in God, Trust in Yourself, Trust in Others, Trust in Life, will chase anyone who finds it navigate his/her mind in the right direction; peace and happiness.

In addition, I believe in you, the four essential TRUSTS;

1.Trust in Self

Trust yourself because you are worthy of your own time, energy, attention, and love. You—as a demonstration of and representative of the presence of the Creator in the world—deserve and are worthy of your own trust . . . Trust yourself because it is the way you demonstrate that you are willing to embrace, engage, and enjoy life . . . Trust yourself because when the rubber meets the road, 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.

2.Trust in God

Trust in God because it is your sole purpose for being on the planet. Trust in God because you are a human being, prone to losing connection to and awareness of your good sense . . . Trust in God because it is the surest way that you will rise above your humanness into the truth of your authentic identity that is divine, purposeful, joyful, loving, and lovable . . . Trust in God because when you cannot do it—whatever it is—for yourself, God can do it through you and for you.

3.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 others because you need people to facilitate and support your mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. Even when your interactions and relationships are difficult, challenging, and uncomfortable, trust that you are growing. Trust in others because those whom you do trust—with or without good reason—will support you in recognizing the areas of your mind and heart that may still need loving care and attention.

4.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. Trust the process because life is on your side. Life wants to encourage you, inspire you, and motivate you, moment by moment, and that can happen only when you trust that life knows exactly what you need, and exactly when you need it . . . When you trust the process, you will deepen your awareness and understanding of who you are and the meaning of every person and experience you encounter.

It likes to hit the nail on the head when I have read to these Iyanla's good remarks;
 “-will bring faith with one another, therefore, we won’t be lured into buying thing that we are told will help us or make us happy-they are not; as one line stated inside this book.”
No more! 

I extremely don't expect to see that kind of people behave themselves as she has claimed above.

Let's back to the introduction page of the book, it starts with the quote as follows;
Indeed, “learning to trust is one of life's most difficult lessons,” says #1 New York Times best-selling 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?”
Huh, honestly, at my first glance once I have hit the aberration “TNT”  , in my sense, it told me about a sort of “EXPLOSIVE”, but actually, they are Tenacity, Nerve and Time.

Oh! You-Iyanla, you didn’t lure me with that, did you? No no no! Give me a break for a moment.—now I know it very well, I am lured by myself! I'm going to take a medicine for now...lol

Iyanla writes this book by base on her real life linking to her tenets and some scriptures in Proverbs from the Bible as she was in a church with grandmother when she was very young.

There are some words from that book I really want to write them here, because I do love them.

You don’t start mountain climbing by scaling Mount Everest without equipment. So start where you are. Start with anthill in your own backyard. Build your trust muscles by considering the following questions;

That’s very nice speeches to encourage people starting to do something that they have never temp to do so. Iyanla is very excellent in breaking the wall of by allure with great motivate states.

Something came up to me, even I know and watch the Titanic film, but I don’t know to create any empowered remark as Iyanla does- Remember, the ark was built by amateurs; Titanic built by professionals; Bang away on my mind, the smile etch on my face.

There are many spiritual life coaches in the book, Trust: Mastering the 4 Essential Trusts: Trust in God, Trust in Yourself, Trust in Others, Trust in Life, which engage in human being practical life.

Before I gonna say good-bye, I would like to pass ONE more Iyanla’s contents in her book: No matter how bad the storm is, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting.

Absolutely agree with her? 

I will keep my answer to this question in my mind. 

“Ain’t nobody gonna put up with your mess in this world”, the last sentence of her book I pick for you all. That’s Iyanla’s grandmother talk to her occasionally; Iyanla quote in her book…
