The definition of trust is the firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. Taking it a step further, to have faith is to have complete trust or confidence.

It’s easy to have inherent faith in the natural world around us. The sun RELIABLY sets daily without fail. The earth rotates on its axis giving us the TRUE North Pole. After five mass extinction events life always has the ABILITY to rise again. The STRENGTH of tropical storms astounds; In October 2019, Super Typhoon Hagibis gathered in only 18 hours with wind gusts up to 195 mph. Our natural world is impartial and immutable.

People are different. Its hard to trust friends to keep secrets in confidence, colleagues to stay professional, or strangers not to take advantage given the opportunity. Betrayal pains the soul.

Dig deep and be honest. Are you a trusting person? Chances are you’ve been let down in the past. Resentments may be holding you back. In fact, only 35% of Americans believe that most people can be trusted. Yet, having trust in ourselves, in each other, and in the world around us is crucial for a satisfying and fulfilling life.

When trust is low, find someone or something else you can focus on. Find a marvel in nature, search out an ever-loving dog, or look into the eyes of a child. The key to restoring faith lies in wonder, finding a new path, and a willingness to start again.
