What about Trust?

Never trust anyone just because they tell you good words and do sweet things. Observe and figure out if it's seasonal or for a lifetime.

Thoughts on Relationships

Every season of your life requires different types of relationships and everywhere you go they will likely change. Your relationships play a part in determining how happy you will be in school, at work, or home.  Remember that being courteous is the key but being a doormat or rug is not  a part of social etiquette. And, don't give trust so easily unless it is earned and learn to earn the trust of others. Trust is an important aspect of any relationship and without there lies a lot of fakeness, brokenness, and hurt because you didn't see it coming. 

Trust and Dependence

You need to know the time and place to trust someone. It's all about seasons. Don't be over-dependent on anyone including yourself.

End of the Year Thoughts #3

#3 Don't trust anyone just because you want to ...stop and wait for them to give you a reason to.

Trusting God over Humans

Don't be too trusting. People you least expect can be the first ones to betray you. But don't be surprised. You need to learn to depend on God only and not humans. Humans are just his vessels.

When Does An Acquaintance Become A Friend?

There are some people who we refer to as our acquaintances and there are others who we will say are not really our friends or enemies (I guess they fall in between). The big question today is when does your acquaintance become your friend?...and I mean true friend. There are no easy answers as friendships are complex but trust is an important ingredient. If you can be yourself with your friend and share with them important things about yourself that no others know then you are on the way to friendship. Friendship isn't just about the good times, it's also about holding each other up and helping each other be the best person they can be without expecting anything in return but yet receiving it.

Respecting Your Significant Other

In every culture there will be different traditions practised which will either emphasize respect for the male or female partner. But at the end of the day don't we all love being respected? Here are some reasons why respect is important:

1. Respect shows that you are invested in the relationship
2. Respect shows that you value your partner's entire personhood
3. Respect shows that you are trustworthy and can keep the deepest kinds of secrets without harboring judgement

Trust over trust



There are always plenty of songs about love and the attraction that goes with it...the head over heels feeling and everything. But do you or I honestly know a lot of popular songs that talk about the trust aspect in love? I can't think of any but nevertheless trust is an important area of relationships that deserves some attention. Be careful to keep the trust given to you and don't give your trust to anyone who hasn't earned it. And yeah if you wanna take that relationship somewhere golden then invest in the bank of trust.



Snippets about life

Hi everybody! Life is easy and good, isn't it? Hahaha. Well today I just want to share with you some interesting insights. Most of these little snippets of advice run a line or two but never forget that some of these lines might do you and me some good! Happy weekend!

 



 

True love

Everyone wants to fall in love and stay there forever? So we end up not only wanting love, but true love, when we eventually decide to settle down. But true love is not just something, as easy as abc and 123, it is an everyday active process that requires two hearts to be actively engaged in being trustworthy, romantic, understanding and much more. The acronym for TRUE LOVE  below, might be a great reminder, and of course don't hold on to that person too tight. Let them also have their own time to do whatever it is, and of course because they are your true love, the necessary time apart won't change a thing.



 

Trust and promises...promises and trust

When it comes to daily relationships or even the corporate world, many of us want people we can trust...that is dependable people. Trust is indeed an important character. As for some people when it comes to choosing a life partner, trust is one of the most important things beyond even money, looks and other criteria. And it hurts when someone you trust doesn't keep a promise, but don't get bitter, but instead use that experience to motivate you to keep your promises. And, yeah don't make promises you can't keep for  the sake of the moment. Be strategic and truthful a day at a time, as you build blocks of truth, as there is no need to make a promise you can't keep in the first place.

Reaping and sowing

Some people say it's karma and some say it's just a law of life. Either way we ought to know that we have to keep an eye on what are we putting in ourselves. We just have to be careful also because sometimes the way that others treat us is a reflection of ourselves. Great weekend!

Love and trust...trust and love

I think that "I love you" is sometimes easier to say than, "I trust you." Because trust is not the easiest thing, although to truly enjoy loving someone you have to trust them totally. A lack of trust is actually something very dangerous that has the potential to break the best of relationships. A lack of trust is toxic. So it is important to get rid of any emotional, physical or psychological baggage related to trust in order to have the freedom to build trust in your relationships a day and step at a time. Honesty is of course an essential step in doing so...don't be afraid...just say it. But watch how you say what you want to say...Timing is key or else you might  end up tearing  down your relationship instead of building it.

Trust and betrayal side by side

Sometimes the hardest thing to do after being betrayed is learning to trust again. For some it does not come easy when they end up extremely adhering to "Love all...but trust one"  which can lead to them being bitter and distant to even trustworthy people.

However, everything has got its balance. I think distrust in moderation is a good tactic that can shield us from getting hurt when used well. Nevertheless, there are times we need to learn to trust others again or gain their trust.

Last but not least, know the difference between when it time to move on and throw out the "trash" after betrayal; and when it is actually time to recycle that "trash".
