The Power Of Trust

‘Trust begins not with convincing someone to trust you; it starts with someone feeling that you know them.’- Dr Henry Cloud

If I don’t know you, I can’t trust you. If I can’t trust you, then I can’t work with you.

‘Real trust is built not only through understanding but making sure the other party’s motive is right, meaning that they are for your good.’- Dr. Henry Cloud

Yes, when it comes to building trust, understanding matters. But it is not enough. Before you commit yourself to anything, make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. If you do not feel good about it, then it is not good for you.

Be a source of love

“We must first have the desire and then the intention and commitment to be a source of love- this means that rather than waiting for the world to be more loving, we decide that we will be the first one to reach out and act loving- on matter what!”- Richard Carlson

Seek out the comfort and help you need

“Healing from a loss is a natural process of life- just as healing from a broken bone is too. Knowing this in the midst of pain is of great comfort. If it’s at all possible, don’t be alone. Seek out the comfort and help you need and deserve. This is not the time to be brave or strong. Instead it’s the time to reach out to others and be open to receive their kindness.”
