The walk to success comes with lot of fear, The walk to freedom comes with trust for me. I believe that fear has to relate more on trust as well. Why do I say that ? I honestly believe that one has accumulated so much fear in their life because there was a trust that has been broken, trust that lacked caused one to fear so much, caused one to have anxiety.
I believe that trust is earned, you cannot go around and asking people to trust you or to put their trust in your lap. This is the thing about trust and fear. You need to understand that once a person say I trust you that means they put their hope, faith in your lap now that you will always be there, you will always have their back each time they feel left out, each time they feel unloved, feel scared. You promised to hold their hands and you will be able to walk the journey with them. You are basically promising them that you won’t drop the ball of trust in your hands, You promise that you won’t just stand up and leave because their trust on your lap.
I always associate trust with a glass. Once a person mistakenly breaks the glass it very difficult to be put in together and be the same smooth shape of a glass. It might go back being a glass but it has scars now, that will always be a reminder of what has happened, that has caused Fear. To over-come fear takes a lot of time, takes a lot of energy , takes patience, needs dedication because one can’t wake up and say I no longer fear and I trust again.
I always associate fear and trust like a beautiful flower vase that you put in your lounge that decorate your home, that makes your home look so bright and beautiful. Just imagine that vase been broken into small pieces and someone says to you ” no dear I will fix it for you, so you can be able to use it again and display it again on your lounge and put your gorgeous roses”.I doubt you would want to agree to such because your vase will no longer look the same.
When you have broken someone trusts just know how deep it has gone, the scars are very deep, just know that you have introduced fear in their journey, in order for you to amend your mistake just be patient with them, it will take time and energy to rebuild it again. Just think of these broken glasses, it not easy to put back each and every little piece together and think it will fit in perfectly.
