On the 11th Day of Christmas: Trust

January 4, 2015

Aloha nui my friends,

It is the 11th Day of Christmas, and I invite you to celebrate the virtue of Trust with me:

Trust

We can have a sense of wonder because we can trust.

People tend to be kind of needy, and that’s okay. When we need others we learn to trust and be trustworthy in our relationship building.

We learn to love more, and play more.
We learn to have faith in each other.
We cultivate magnetic attractions to good intention.

~ Twelve Aloha Virtues


“The knots of two souls are stronger than the knots of two hearts.”
— Shar Daula

Values or Virtues? Both.

What small actions can you take today, to feel the virtue of trust strengthen you and your capacity for belief?

Which values help you feel either trusted or trustworthy when you practice them?

I’ve often been asked why TRUST is not one of the values in Managing with Aloha, and the short answer, is that I believe it is a result of our values, and not a value-driving behavior in and of itself. Surely trust, and trustworthiness, is more of a virtue as a character trait we develop. From the introduction to this Christmastide project:

For a virtue to become a true character trait, it must happen.

There must be self-propelled actions which stemmed from our values to produce the kind of moral character we will be proud to call our own, as we recently spoke of here: Values are Shaped by a Heritage of Doing.
