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?’

How To Keep Your Integrity

‘Without integrity, nothing else really matters. It doesn’t matter what you say if no one trust you. And it doesn’t matter how committed, skilled, courageous, or optimistic you are if people don’t believe you’ll honor your words.’- David Cottrell

You are your integrity. You are nothing without it. It is very hard to build. But you can destroy it in a day.

You are not going to go far in your life if people don’t trust you. You are not going to have a happy life if no one is willing to work with you.

To keep yourself on the right path, the path to success, you must have the courage to stand for something.

Integrity requires you to be you, to practice what you believe in, to face what is in front of you.

Integrity is everything. To keep it, you must be honest with yourself. And you must be honest with other people. If you know you are not going to be able to do something, do not say it.

Integrity is being honest with other people. It is about living the life that you want other people to live. It is about living your own truth. It is not about trying to present who you are not.

Integrity is how you treat yourself. It is about what you stand for. It is not about other people. It is about you, your character.

Integrity is about being authentic, supportive, true to yourself, grateful, and being reliable.

It is about what you care about in your life, what you value in your life. If you want to keep your integrity, you must stay true to yourself. Because your life starts with you. Because everything starts with you.
