How To Get Other People To Trust You

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Trust is everything. You can’t force other people to trust you. You can’t force your friends to trust you. You can’t force your spouse to trust you. You can’t force your coworkers to trust you. You can’t force your boss, your manager, to trust you.

You don’t demand trust from other people. You work for your trust. You earn it. Trust is what you get when you are true to yourself.

If you want people to trust you, don’t fight for your trust. Do not convince them to trust you. Be yourself.

Be yourself. Live your life. Do not lie to anyone. Do not even lie to yourself, even when no one is watching you.

Trust will come. People will trust you when you are a good person, you live with dignity, when you are true to yourself, when you love what you are doing, when you surround yourself with other trustworthy people.

And the best way to get people to trust you is to first trust yourself. If you do not trust yourself, no one is going to trust you.

You trust yourself when you do what you say you are going to do. People like that.

You trust yourself when you are not scared to tell people what they need to hear from you.

You trust yourself when your words and your actions are the same. They are not different.

You trust yourself when you do not take on things that you cannot do. You trust yourself when you know what you can do.

You trust yourself when you surround yourself with other trustworthy people. And you trust yourself when you live your life with integrity in every area of your life.

That is how you earn trust. Again, do not force people to trust you. Because trust is about your behavior.

It is about how you live your life. So if you want people to trust you, you must be true to yourself.

The question is, ‘Are you true to yourself?’

Self-Examination Is Everything. Here Is Why

‘Self-examination is about seeing with the ‘eyes of the core.’ The eyes in our head see the physical world around us. The eyes of our core provide insights about our beliefs, thoughts, feelings motives, and actions.’– Tim Irwin, PhD

Why is self-examination so important? It is important because we are human beings. And human beings make mistakes.

Human beings are full of different biases. It is also important because we don’t know who we are.

When you ask people to tell you something about themselves, you will hear stories.

But the reality is a different song. The reality is a foreign language. Why is that? Because they don’t know who they are.

What they know about themselves is what the world has given to them. It is not who they are.

To know who you really are, you must examine yourself. And do not do it if you are not going to use the results to improve your life.

Self-examination is everything. It is your hidden eyes. It is not going to lie to you. If you do it well, you will learn something about yourself.

But if you don’t, you will stay the same. That is why it pays to be real with yourself when you are examining yourself.

Self-examination is about honesty. It is about growth. We grow when we examine ourselves. We move forward when we face what is holding us.

If you are not getting ahead in your life, it pays to talk to your self-examination.

Self-examination helps you get better at what you. It reveals your real self to you.

It points out what you don’t know about yourself. It shows you your weaknesses, your negative thoughts, your biases, your dark side.

It also shows you what you are doing well. When you examine yourself, it brings change to you.

It does not matter what you do, where you are in your life, if you want to get to your next level, you must examine yourself. Because

To achieve greatness in our lives, according to Tim, we must seek to understand and harness the unique forces that will make us more effective as well as to diminish those weaknesses that will render us less so.’
