Trust

What does Trust mean?

Being willing to rely on someone or something without full proof. Trust is a bet placed on goodness.

Another way of seeing Trust

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and — more often than we think — can be rebuilt. With too little of it, life becomes exhausting, because you have to guard everything alone. Too much, too fast, and you're exposed. The wise path goes in steps: extend a little, watch what people do with it, then extend a little more.

Trust in relationships

Trust is built in tiny deposits: being where you said you'd be, keeping a confidence, owning a mistake before you're caught. Notice the deposits others make with you, too.

Trust in everyday life

Hand over one small thing today that you'd usually control — a decision, a task, a plan. Let someone else carry it, and see what it frees up in you.

Carry this with you

Trust in steps, not leaps.
