Trust and connection! Putting it all together!

Inspire trust

Connection is something we all want but I’m not sure if we truly know what it takes to connect... the time, the ups and downs and the constant chess game can be draining...

I have spent so much time trying to connect with others that it actually backfires... I have been very intentional on connecting but instead I have focused on the wrong things... I had become selfish, wanting connection for the wrong reasons...

As I go thru my journey that I share with others I have become even more self aware of what it is I do and what I don’t do... I have seen myself know what I need to do to be better but instead I fall into the same trap and behavior as before.

How can I be intentional on connecting yet also self-aware on my behavior and growth - sounds easier than it really is...

#caryacademy boys basketball coach @lasonperkins gave me a book called the code of trust a few weeks back and I came across a section where the writer #robindreeke talks about ways the 5 ways to inspire trust... and after reading it - I knew that I wasn’t fulfilling my part of inspiring trust...

In order to build trust i must
1. Suspend your ego
2. Nonjudgmental acceptance
3. Validate others
4. Honor reason
5. Be generous
WOW! Safe to say I suck at a lot of these! But I love that this list of 5 helps guide me on what I need to do to inspire trust...

Like many of you I know the type of person I want to be... I know how to get there... and now I must practice it so I can be the best version of me...

Wherever you are in life - understand this... your journey starts the moment in time when you become woke, when you want to make changes AND you take the steps that executes change! Enjoy the journey - if it was easy, it wouldn’t be worth it, embrace the struggle and know that the better version of you is constantly evolving!

Love you guys!
