So I have a bold statement to make; so bold in fact that I am slightly hesitant about voicing my opinion on the matter.

Hell...I've made some not so great decisions when everything in my being was begging me not to. Usually my poor decisions were a result of me not having a strong trust muscle. You see usually the story goes something like this:
