With all that is going on in the world today trust is a very, very important aspect of daily living. By definition, it is the firm belief in the reliability, truth, and ability of someone or something. We place our trust in the banks, pharmacies, doctors, restaurants, and many other entities as we tell ourselves that they are reliable, so we automatically place our trust in them. But, when it comes to having the same trust in ourselves, we start to have doubts as we are afraid and unwilling to believe in ourselves. There is no hope, assured reliance, dependence or courage to trust you or bet on yourself. Having trust in yourself is choosing to be vulnerable and courageous and will be important to the relationships you are forming with yourself. What you share with yourself is reliant on the foundation you are building. The value that you place in yourself will show the belief, reliability, faith, confidence, dependability, loyalty, and trust of you and only you. Just as how you trust the sun to rise each day, you should have the same faith and commitment to continue working on yourself.
There are also elements of trust that you will have to incorporate in your life which are positive relationships, exercising good judgment and consistency.
Positive relationship means resolving conflicts with yourself and others.
Exercising good judgment is in decision making and responding quickly to any issues that may arise.
Consistency means honoring commitments that you have made with yourself and others as well. Remember, trust is granted and not earned.
Trust helps you to grow and flourish and is a fundamental aspect towards building a solid foundation. So just as how you make the decision of trusting external entities and things within that environment, that is how you should build a bond of trust within yourself.
