Trust has been a theme that has been recurring in my life in recent weeks and bringing up issues of faith or I should say more aptly put, loss of faith.
The faith I question isn’t in myself, or my very complex and diverse understandings of the spiritual realm, so much as it in people and the lesson in don Miguel Ruiz‘s The Four Agreements
When people in your life are not “impeccable” with their word and you take them at face value, because you trust, you get hurt. There’s no way around that.
Times heals all wounds… but, trust when shaken or shattered no longer becomes a gift given freely, it must then be earned.
When you are impeccable with your word, you run less risk of breaking the trust of others… It boils down to, being capable of walking your talk.
