Trust is built on mutual respect and credibility. To become reliable, we must keep our promises. Even the strongest foundation topples with too much and too often of a shock. Wear and tear causes fatigue stress, and if left untreated, all things break down.
What are you doing to nurture and nourish the trust you’ve built over the years? Neglect and abuse will lead to disintegration and broken relationships.
You need to call in a favor? Wait… you just remembered that time you went back on your word. Failed to deliver on your promise. You hesitate. You hang up your phone.
Be consistent. Keep your promise. Do what you say you were going to do.
It’s really not that hard, but it sure takes practice and commitment to make it work.
