Trust doesn’t always equal truth. When it comes to relationships, if someone doesn’t tell the truth and you’re having to read between the lines to work things out, there is no trust and it’s probably time to move on.

Just because someone says you can trust them, doesn’t mean you can. Trust issues happen because people are either conservative with the truth, or they lie. Trust is about goodwill, it’s telling the other person I care enough to tell you the truth, but that has to be reciprocated.

Where trust doesn’t equal truth, it’s time to rethink. Trust is the glue that holds relationships together. It is also the foundation that builds on relationships in the early days. We trust those who we believe have our best interests at heart.

For those who know there is a trust issue, they may have already worked out they’re scared to go it alone, so do nothing about it. When we have doubt, we will always question trust.

I believe that when it comes to core values, defining and communicating them will mean nothing, if those values don’t drive us to live better lives.

For me, when I look back on my childhood, it wasn’t the things my mum said once that were of the most value, but the things she constantly repeated and for good reason. If something is to be defined as important, it must be frequently repeated, if it is to become part of us.

Unless we continue to reinforce core values into our lives, their value will be of little significance to us or anyone else. Core values show others what we stand for guides us on a more spiritual path and ultimately becomes our lasting legacy when we’re no longer around.
