Spongebob : 'What if I break your trust someday?
Patrick : Trusting you is my decision, proving me wrong is your choice.'
Surface
There is something about trust. It's not what everyone defines it as. In fact it has no specific meaning. 'Trust' is a prodigious word, to us it meant keeping secrets, guarding one another, defending somebody when they do wrong what not. That's basically 'trust' in a nutshell when we were kids; but correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like there's a vast meaning behind, and we are just touching the surface of an ice-burg that has more depth.
Digging deep, I understood that trust began with family, passed on to those who you're close with, friends, even strangers who are overly extroverted. So trust has nothing to do with secrets. How many of y'all were challenged to say the truth at all the dare games? Haven't you ever, and by this I mean EVER been in a situation where you had to depend on someone that you barely knew? I think I do this all the time via group presentation where I just do my part and hope to god others do so too (thank heavens they do).
Below the surface
I think I've covered all aspects, from family to friends to strangers, trust is a fine line and I don't think anyone wants to mess with the fact that it could easily be broken, but hey! why is it always trust that's broken? Let me pitch in;
It's because we forgot ourselves when it came to the subject. Sometimes we have to trust our instinct, listen to your gut; even though sometimes your gut makes stupid, irreversible decisions but we always regret the chances we didn't take. It all comes from within, there's no greater self love than trusting your chances, opportunities. Have you always held back and idea? something that inspired you but you just didn't want to execute it? man, what stopped you? Don't tell me it was the peer pressure, Don't blame it on judgmental outsiders, You were just scared to make the move. You did not want to fail. All those inspiration quotes and Ted talks you've been watching did not work. Instead you listened to what society told you, you never 'trusted' you, or your gut. You simply never thought you could pull it off. Ask any of your friends or anyone at all !... about their bravest move, maybe they are a self made artist an entrepreneur a musician or a writer, they'd say that they only thought about the first step, the rest will fall into place - now that's trust. A leap of faith executed as trust.
There you go - You have the bigger picture about the whole thing and Patrick was right - Trust is a choice.
