Trust

Many things that we do in life arise from our beliefs and convictions. The analysis of a situation in our mind forms our belief system. We naturally agree with some things that are said and also at the same time chuck out the things that we do not agree with. This process of accepting certain things as values and sidelining other things happens automatically or naturally in our mind.

To make a person do something that you want him/ her to do, the only thing needed is strong belief that has to be put in that person. The person must feel that s/ he is trusted completely, that s/ he is special and can match up to the standards that are expected of him/ her.

To explain the point a story would go well. This story is of a young boy who joined the seminary to become a priest. This particular individual had joined the seminary not with the purest of intentions. His plan was to finish his studies and wash his hands off the seminary. However there was a priest who firmly believed in him and made it known to him that he would be a holy priest one day. After some months that seminarian felt like he done a big mistake by entering the seminary. 

The priest gave him hope in his time of distress. The seminarian became hopeful and carried on with the help of God and the guidance of this priest. That seminarian went on to be a good and holy priest. According to me that seminarian became a priest not to a great extent because of divine assistance, but more so because of the hope and positive belief placed in him by the priest. God too puts His trust in us even though we fail and fall down several times.

You will be able to trust another only if you have had the experience of being trusted in by another. It is a wonderful experience of being trusted by another person (more so if that person is one who is in authority). 

Trust and you will be trusted!
