Where is Your Trust and Confidence?

So...
Where is your trust and confidence?
Is it in your self?
Why?
When the plane hits turbulence, wouldn't you rather it be flown by a skilled pilot than by your self?
When cancer spreads, wouldn't you rather it be removed by a skilled surgeon than by your self?
So...
Where do you place your trust and confidence?
Surely not in your self!!?

In important matters,
The wise seek out the skilled; the trained; the prepared.
They know some things are far too important than to rely on less than the best.
In matters of life and death, they look to the top.
In both the temporary and the eternal,
Their eyes focus beyond their own limitations,
They peer as close to the source as they can get.
It is no time to have 'self' on one's pedestal!

It is the child who cries, "I, me, mine, gimme!"
The child's growth only happens on dependence.
The child's survival fully depends on someone greater than him/herself.

So...
Where is your trust and confidence?
Look as high as your eyes can see,
...and don't stop there.
