Relationships without trust?
We often look for absolutes like, complete trust. I have started to examine the many relationships that we have that are not based on complete trust but we continue to have a relationship of sorts with them anyway. Let's look at it.
Based on the large number of malpractice suits , do you trust the doctors of today? Does that mean that you won't go see one when in need and then hope that you will be the exception? With the Mechanics that work on our cars. Do you trust that they are always giving you the best price for the service that was rendered? Or the best service that was available. Will you still go to them when there is a problem? The people that we work for or do business with. Do you trust that they will deal fairly with you in all matters that pertain to you? Will you still go to work tomorrow or do business with them?
I am not suggesting that we don't work on building trusting relationships. I am suggesting that when we operate above and beyond we realize that trust is relative. We must decide not if we trust a person alone but are you able to receive something out of the relationship that may be valuable enough to continue with, although the trust may not be 100%. But then what is 100%? Can YOU really be trusted 100% on all issues in any situation with out question?

TRUST is very powerful word and sometimes we tend to use it so much that it loses it's value, such as the word LOVE.. You can say the words "I love you" and "Trust me" every day until it has no meaning. But, we say it anyway. In order to trust, you must trust yourself and love yourself; You can TRUST IN GOD, TRUST IN THE LORD, TRUST YOUR PARENTS but when it comes to work relationships, dealing in business and even personal relationships, we tend to 'trust' we'll get paid, 'trust' we'll get an hour lunch but we don't trust those around us.. why? Because we don't trust ourselves. I trust you until you give me a reason not to... Respectfully...
