Trust: how important is it in our everyday lives?

I suspect like many people, currently I am struggling with trusting people in power to do the right thing for the country. So often it seems that many of their actions are about personal positioning to remain in power rather than common sense to improve the quality of everybody’s life.

In the UK this has come into sharp focus with the Brexit negotiations. Much of what was promised is not in the exit deal. Were we not able to negotiate these items or has the Government broken trust? We all appreciate it is a negotiation so we will not get all that we want. To ensure trust is maintained, clear communications are required.

Many times in public and private lives I see trust challenged through poor communication and misunderstandings.

On a more personal note, we all have relationships in our lives with our family, friends, colleagues and neighbours where trust is fundamental for it to be a healthy one. Trust drives collaboration with each other and a sense of security and well-being. Even if times are challenging, trusting the people and relationships in your life eases the burden and increases the joy.

If you are looking to make changes in your life, this is much easier within a trusted relationship where you know feedback is honest and heart felt. As in all change, mistakes will be made but trusted friends and family will help you to recover from these mistakes to move forward in a positive manner.

Most important of all do you trust yourself? Do you keep your promises to yourself? Perhaps you wanted to get home earlier from work, eat less, take a walk each day. Often these are good sensible promises to improve the quality of your life. Learning to trust yourself can be the hardest trust to build.

Sometimes we can be our harshest critic. If the promises to yourself were unrealistic, it makes no sense to be cross when you do not meet your own expectations. As always life is about common sense.

Trust once broken is much harder to re-build. This is why infidelity in a partnership is often the end of the relationship purely because it is so hard to trust the person again.

Trust in any relationship is key and should be valued and nurtured.

Without trust a relationship is by its nature shallow with far less value to your life. Building trusted relationships enhances your life and in my view is well worth the extra effort of thoughtfulness and communication needed to keep them healthy.
