It is important to find a place where you feel trust, you feel

Hear the words of Bojan Krkic, the footballer whose journey carried him through many lands and many trials, who said: “It is important to find a place where you feel trust, you feel belonging and stability.” This wisdom is not born of idle thought but of a life spent moving between clubs, nations, and cultures, seeking not only victory on the field but peace in the heart. In his words is a truth that transcends sport: that every soul longs for an anchor, a haven where it may rest without fear, where it may grow strong, and where it may feel at last that it is truly at home.

What is trust but the foundation upon which all bonds are built? Without it, no friendship can endure, no team can flourish, no community can stand. To find a place of trust is to find safety for the heart, where one’s words are not betrayed, and one’s presence is not doubted. And what is belonging but the deep assurance that one is wanted, not merely tolerated? It is the warmth that melts loneliness, the invisible cord that ties one life to another. And what is stability but the soil in which these seeds can grow—soil that does not shift with every storm, but holds firm, offering the chance to build and to dream? Together, trust, belonging, and stability form the triad of a true home.

Consider the story of Nelson Mandela, who endured decades of imprisonment. Though he was torn from his people and forced into isolation, he never ceased to seek a place where trust and belonging might thrive again. When freedom came, he did not seek vengeance but instead forged reconciliation, building a South Africa that, though fragile, could become a home for all its peoples. He knew that without trust, his nation would bleed; without belonging, it would fracture; without stability, it would collapse. His life illustrates that what Bojan Krkic spoke of is not only for individuals but for entire nations: these three virtues are the pillars of peace.

History also warns of what happens when these pillars are absent. The wandering of the Jewish people through centuries of exile testifies to the pain of lacking belonging and stability. Though they carried their traditions and their faith across the world, the absence of a secure home left them vulnerable to persecution. Only with the eventual establishment of a homeland could they begin to taste what it meant to have trust in a place, belonging to a community, and stability under their own guard. The lesson is eternal: every human heart and every people needs a place where they are not strangers.

O children of the future, listen and learn: seek not only wealth, nor fame, nor fleeting pleasures. These may dazzle, but they do not root the soul. Instead, seek first a place of trust, belonging, and stability. It may be among family, it may be among friends, it may be among those who share your craft or your faith—but wherever it is found, cherish it above gold. For when storms come—and they surely will—it is this place, this community, this circle of trust, that will hold you steady.

The lesson is luminous: do not wander endlessly chasing shadows. Find the ground that does not tremble beneath your feet, find the companions who do not turn from you in your hour of need, find the hearth where your presence is joy and not burden. There, you will flourish; there, you will grow strong; there, you will become more than yourself. For in belonging, you gain strength; in stability, you gain endurance; in trust, you gain peace.

Practical action lies here: build trust by keeping your word; cultivate belonging by welcoming others into your circle; establish stability by committing yourself to what endures, not to what vanishes. Choose your place wisely, and once chosen, invest yourself in it with loyalty and patience. In this way, you will not only find your own home, but you will also help create a haven for others.

So let the words of Bojan Krkic guide you: “Find a place where you feel trust, you feel belonging and stability.” For such a place is the treasure every heart longs for. Once found, it is not merely a refuge—it is the foundation of life’s greatest joys and the fortress against its deepest storms.
