Earn Trust

There will be those who do not trust you for many reasons.

Perhaps you exhibited behavior that worried them.

Perhaps you said words that caused trouble.

Perhaps you live and think in ways they've never experienced before.

But, you can earn their trust.

Listen to their words.

Acknowledge their good work.

Find ways to work together.

Observe and learn about those individuals.

It's a big world with many viewpoints, ways of being, goals, and thoughts, and it's likely that in this world there will be those you find difficult to trust, and some who will distrust you. In general, it's best to develop trust for and with those in your midst.
