Trust Up

Trust Up.

Trust is a five letter word with ‘u’ at the center.

Implicit trust is immeasurable. It cannot be purchased. The value of complete trust in a relationship is priceless. Businesses are built on trust. Relationships are entwined by trust.

Companies have been liquidated by mistrust. Marriages have been wrecked by broken trust.
Intangible, untouchable yet breakable, trust evolves through time. Love that builds on trust - builds on love. But trust resembles a delicate teardrop, capable of being wiped away in the twinkling of an eye. A relationship devoid of trust rusts quickly and there is terminal deterioration.So, how do you engender trust?

When you say you’ll be there, be there. When you say you’ll phone back, phone back. When you say you’ll do it, do it. When you’ve made a mistake, admit it. When you don’t know the answer, don’t hide it. When you say, ‘I’m sorry’, show it.

When you say, ‘I love you’, mean it. Trust is galvanized by proof, by your vow to follow through, in business and in person, in sickness and in health, to have and to hold, from this day forward.Trust others until they prove themselves otherwise. n

And don’t forget to trust yourself.
