Trust Is The Bedrock Of My Faith, Business, And Life

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Total Care Realty NCRE# 257455

Trust is the bedrock of My Faith, Business, and Life.

 

A topic has been asked as of late how Trust affects my business and life.  Actually the central theme of my life is Trust.  Let me briefly outline my mindset:

 

My Faith

I trust that my God is always there by my side and watching over me.  I have   never met the Lord in    person, I have never seen my God standing by my side.  I have not even been blessed to see any footprints in the sand but, my faith TRUSTS that God is there.  My mother instilled this trust in me just as I always trusted that my parents would be there for me.

 

My Business

My clients trust me completely.  I have been entrusted with one of their most prized possessions their home.  I have been put in situations where I have watched my clients children, they have put their family and their largest financial possession in my trust.  When my clients ask me a question I hold myself to the highest standard I must, I have to tell them the entire truth.  It goes down to my core that I have to always make sure to do anything to ever, ever let that trust waver one tiny bit.  

 

My Life

Trust is something I give to every person I meet upon first meeting.  I give everyone my trust and it is theirs to lose.  I on the other hand feel I must constantly earn everyone else’s trust.  I must be ever vigilant in my life to never betray that trust to anyone.  I have had my trust betrayed before so I know how it feels.  As long as I live I will not betray the trust of anyone that has entrusted me with theirs.  I base my life, my business, and my faith on 


TRUST.

Larry, what a wonderful post! This is the quote I like best:"Trust is something I give to every person I meet upon first meeting.  ... and it is theirs to lose. I on the other hand feel I must constantly earn everyone else’s trust."

Great food for thought. Sounds like you've though about it deeply!

This is such a fun challenge. Trust is critical to all relationships. I'm excited to read everyone's posts. This is great and I love how you tied it into all areas of your life, which is so important, if you don't have trust, there's not much further a relationship can go.
