“You can trust people, trust them to be exactly who they are every time” – Mastin Kipp
Do you trust yourself? Why not?
The quote above has become a favorite of mine. I like the truth in it.
I think it was Kerri Konik who first introduced me to this Mastin Kipp quote. Thanks Kerri!
People are who they are. People are worthy, funny and insightful.
All people have gifts and talents unique to them. People are resilient, graceful, and caring. People are amazing! All people have an essence unique to them.
Yes, this is my point-of-view and I realize it is often not a popular point of view. Over time, many have shared with me how wrong I am on this point. Others protest and disagree with me, stating they cannot support my point of view. I understand.
The world is full of different points-of-view, so much so that often people begin to believe that just being themselves is not enough.
Yes, there are days when I am not focused and not aware of the essence of every person around me. Yet, I do trust that I can pause and, with a moment of focus, am able to capture a person’s essence and, usually, the person’s unique gifts.
People are flexible and adapt. Some people work hard to change, adapt, and adjust who they are for various reasons, needs or concerns. Some people move away from their essence if they feel they need to do so to survive or maintain the status quo. Some people live in the present, being who they are in a conscious manner.
Perhaps those who disagree with me view people differently. That is okay. Seeing who people are, at least for me, requires being present and trusting myself first. Then I can see and trust people for who they believe they are now.
What circumstances, thoughts or beliefs shape your trust of others? Of yourself? What needs shape your trust when you look in the mirror each morning?
Do you trust yourself?
Do you communicate trust in yourself?
Trust is critical in hiring and finding a job. People hire and do business with people they know, like and trust.
Does your brand allow you to build and to shape your know, like and trust factor?
