I've Got Your Back, Do You Have Mine?

Trust:  Dependence on something, Hope

Examples of trust:

1.  When your parents let you borrow the car. 
2.  Confidence in knowing you will do the right thing.  
3. Tying the knot.
4. Telling your dog to stay put.
5. Knowing the sun will rise tomorrow. 
6.  Faith in God. 
7. Trust in the future.
8. Trusting yourself.
9. Teamwork.
10. A baby.  

Today many people don't know what trust is.  Too many broken homes, too many broken lives and too many broken promises are all they've known.  How can you trust anyone when all you've been around are only those people who know how to use you for their own selfish purposes?  They don't care who they hurt only their egos.       

Developing trust is two fold.  It is something we learn, over time and something that is teachable. 

We can go only so far in this world, on our own, but with support from others we can go further. 

Teamwork is a big part of military training because if you can't trust your teammates in the thick of battle to do their jobs then where does that leave the mission and, more importantly, you? 
Goes for civilian life, too.  If you've been tasked with a project and deadline, you can go it alone for a while but isn't it better to have a group of people around you can count on (trust) to help you get the job done?

What about sports?  This is another example of where successful teamwork is required to win the game whether it be basketball, football or baseball. 

Do you trust yourself?  Do you have friends you can trust?

Has anyone in your life promised you something and then let you down? 

Remember, You are creating your future, one day at a time and trust is a big part of it.  Without trust you are going to have an even harder time accomplishing things.

So take a moment and reflect on this, "Trust that you have the skills to succeed and that whatever you hope for (trust) and work toward will turn out exactly the way you envisioned it.
