Whenever you loose credibility, you loose everything!

Whenever you loose credibility, you loose everything!

It is all the matter of trust and credibility of a person which mattes in any relationship either professional or personal level. Those of us seniors who have been around for a long time have observed that people who betray the trust of others rarely change. For them to change takes tremendous effort on their part, not just the assertion, "I won't do that again." What have you done that is equivalent to standing barefoot in the hot sun for several days as a way of self punishment to show your sincerity. Note that it does not show you have become trustworthy, only that you regret what you have done. The only thing you can do, having broken someone's trust, is never break it again and how do you assure the person about that.

Whenever we acknowledge your errors, and present an honest analysis to show that whatever you have learned from it, and offer to repair any damages that you caused. For starters may be you may have to make an extra effort to 'promote' your willingness to deal honestly, but that working depends on the past experiences others whose trust you have broken. Not that everything you have done has gone down the drain of trust but you need to assert yourself and to others that these things will not be repeated through your sincere actions. "

Don't break the thread of love, for once broken, it will not join back, and if it does, it will have a knot." I remember reading this as something very important on this subject when I was still very young and it made a lot of sense to me. The thread of analogy always helped.I think it will be safe to substitute trust for love here. Once broken, though not impossible, it is extremely hard to gain back. I think it is one of the saddest feelings that a person can suffer. Both the sides always loose a lot. Just be honest with yourself. Nothing, and I repeat, nothing says more than letting a person feel that you trust them with your honest naked self.

It is always said that lying is easy and lying comes naturally to us. Whenever we fear rejection or being judged. All our insecurities bundle up and weigh against being honest. And everyone has experienced that. And that is exactly why honesty is so valuable. Because people know just how much effort goes into being honest, they respect you more for it. Trust them with all your secrets. Tell them your insecurities and lay bare your flaws. Then you'll be surprised by the human capability to love an forgive.

Do you remember a story about a thief who always has a trust with another thief or an evil mind has a solid trust with an evil mind because they are more dependent on each other that speaks of honesty between such pack of two people. Thus trust may exist in wicked people also but invariably this trait has value on the positive aspect which tries to add glow in self. Trust does relate with mutual honesty even in evil mind we have observed above but when honesty exists in individual that may translate as purity in thoughts and so reduced selfishness.

If you are aware of the Japanese art of 'kintsugi' they do this form of art by which broken bowls and broken pottery is being fixed by lacquer and powdered gold to restore it to form more beautiful than the original. The obvious objective behind this art is that no matter what is the course of your life or how broken you are, you can rebuild yourself into something that is even more beautiful than your previous self, the beauty being the flaw and imperfection of the first time that has been enhanced by your experience which broke you in the first place. This can also be restated in the quote that “ What breaks you and doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. Always remember this maxim and stay blessed! #kishoreshintre
