What is trust?

Posted on by philipdodson

It’s interesting that we all see ourselves as totally trustworthy people and get very hurt if someone doesn’t trust us.

Yet we have a picture of who we trust and don’t trust based on the filters of our mind.

That in itself isn’t trust. Trust is universal and something we have to be prepared to do first. When trust isn’t present there is no connection.

Trust is connection and connection with other human souls is critical. Trust is not a ‘nice to have’ thing. It is essential to understanding and communication.

We also can extend that further to start from a position where we trust the other is acting from good intentions and is doing the best they can at this present moment.

Trust is humanity.

It’s their fault

We think it is other people, but it is all ourselves.

We choose how to react to others, we choose everything.

No one forces us to behave in any way at all, we choose every time.

When we look within for the answers life changes, when we seek to be a victim or blame others or situations, we get stuck in the smallness of our thinking mind.

When we look within we find the answers and we become accountable and take responsibility for our behaviour and choices. We then start to make choices from our truth, values and heart. We then choose to behave in an openhearted and kind way, with empathy, and understanding. We choose to see the other person and respect them.

It does not mean we have to agree with everyone or not have an opinion or voice of our own. It means that we act authentically, empathetically and free from any agendas, our ego and judgement.

When we blame others we are actually point the same finger out our behaviour.
