“The glory of friendship isn’t the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it’s the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why do many relationships fall apart?
• The reasons are many but the cause that outweighs all others is BROKEN TRUST
How do you define “trust”?
· “A firm belief or confidence in the honesty, integrity, reliability, justice, etc of another person”
“You may not know what trust is but you know what it isn’t” – Kevin Myers
If people lie to you, steal from you, or physically harm you, then you know you can’t trust them. That’s obvious
· But are there other ways that a person can break trust?
· Are there things that people can do to make a relationship unworthy of trust?
· What kind of person must you be in a relationship in order to be worthy of another person’s trust?
The Bedrock Principle: Trust is the foundation of any relationship
The Situation Principle: Never let the situation mean more than the relationship
The Bob Principle: When Bob has a problem with everyone, Bob is usually the problem.
The Approachability Principle: Being at ease with ourselves helps others be at ease with us.
The Foxhole Principle: When preparing for battle, dig a hole big enough for a friend.
