Trust

Trust

It is a greater honor to be trusted than it is to be loved.

I love people who I do not trust.

If I had to choose to be loved or trusted, I would choose to be trusted.


Three doors that only trust can unlock.

Trust is key to good communication.

When trust is high, you speaking with your heart, and communication is easy, deep and happens instantaneously.

We can make grammatical or factual mistakes, and others will still capture our intent and meaning. They are listen to what our heart is saying, with their hearts.

When trust is low communication is exhausting, ineffective, time-consuming, guarded, and extremely difficult. You are speaking with your mind and not your heart. Every word is carefully weighted, and real communication is nearly impossible.

Trust is key to strong relationships

When trust is high mistakes are excused and overlooked. Trust... believes in the integrity of the heart and actions.

"There is no relationship where there is no trust."

Trust is key to promotion

"Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.".

Trust is one of the first requirements for promotion.

Mistakes can be overcome, but matters of integrity and broken trust derail all future promotion.

Trust accounts.

Trust is built over time, much like a savings account, deep meaningful trust is the result of intentional deposits of integrity into the lives of others.

Often in reaching for what we want we are tempted to violate someone trust.

No road to the top is worth the short cut if it violates someone's trust in us.

Don't break trust over frivolous wants or personal ambition.

If trust must be broken, let it be a conscience thought out decision, based upon principle, followed by integrity. You need to let them know what you did a why.

Once trust is spent it can be rebuilt, but as with finances it takes disciplined, conscience self denying deposits.

Mark it down, once trust is violated you can never get it completely back. There will always be questions. God forgives and forgets, but people struggle with with it.

Here are a few quotes:

"Men of genius are admired
Men of wealth are envied
Men of power are feared
But only men of charter are trusted."

"I'm not upset you lied to me, I'm angry that I can no longer trust you."

"Without trust life is not worth living."

"When trust departs, love dose also."

These thoughts are the result of a conversation I had with a young man whom I trust. They are also the result of hind sight of trust that has been lost.

As always I am honored you have taken the time to stop by. Integrity is essential in becoming all that God has called you to be, reach high, and don't underestimate the value of other people's trust in you.
