Building trust. This is not a new idea.
One thing that has noticably declined in recent decades is trust. Trust at a personal level. Trust at a commercial level and particularly trust at a political level. The pressure for prestige, personal gain or profit is growing exponentially.
Have you every noticed how some people, say that they will, “give you a call”, “have a coffee with you some time”, or get back to you with that information you wanted”, but never do? You know what it’s like, we all get busy and there is not enough time in the day to do all the things you would like to do.
Well, guess what? Every time those little things slip by you, trust is broken. And the more it happens the more damage is done to our quality of life. It builds cynicisim, resentment and mistrust. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Surely we all want to be trusted and be able to trust, at all levels.
If we are willing to accept the world the way it is, then carry on, you have no need to read any further. But if you want to tap into the movement for a better consciousness, a better humanity, here is a great way to start.
Simply make small agreements and then stick to them. If you cannot keep them, restrain from making them. Far better to under sell and over deliver than to destroy your own personal credibility.
The more you practice this simple rule, the more people will respect and trust you. Most people can tell when you are being nice, or talking platitudes, even though they may not admit it or understand it consciously. And do you recall how you felt the last time you were let down by someone?
Try it. See if it works for you. It’s so simple, we can easily miss it. And another thing, if someone let’s you down, call them on it. Do it in a respectful way, but let them know. It could awaken something in them that has slipped into the subconscious bag of bad habits.
