Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I choose to create trusting relationships.

The following is quoted from a book by Dr. Riki Robbins:

Trust is a choice. While there is no ironclad guarantee that you will never be betrayed, you have the power to create trusting relationships. The moment you meet someone, you can begin to deliberately nurture trust. How?

Be in integrity with yourself. To create trust you need to reveal your feelings -- both the bad and the good. You need to share the truth about who you are, what's going on for you now, and your intentions for the future. When you notice something that's going on inside you must honestly report it. You must resist the temptation to lie at all costs. Lying kills trust.

For best results, start off a relationship with the assumption that the other person is trustworthy. Be careful to protect yourself, but give him (or her) the benefit of the doubt. As my good friend author and public speaker Cheewa James puts it, "I trust everybody at the beginning. I assume everyone is loving until proven otherwise".

Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:

The Four Stages Of Trust: Secret of Creating Trust
Written by Dr. Riki Robbins, Ph.D.
