Trust is the most valued thing that
I can have in my life. Be it the trust of husband, my parents, and my family. I
know that they trust me and hence I don’t have to carry any baggage of lies or
hide anything from them.
But how did I earned this trust from
them..? Well earning trust is not that easy. When I was I child, I never used
to hide anything from my parents, be it good or bad. I used to narrate every
tiny incident or mischief that I had done. The impact was that my mom was so
confident on me that I will never hide anything from her. Well and I too didn’t
let her trust down.
As I grew I could feel the impact of
the trust that I had earned all these years. During outings with friend, my
parents never said no to me, while many of my friends were not given the
permission. This was because of the trust that I had earned from my parents.
They knew that I will never lie or hide anything from them.
This value of truth helped in my
growing years, where I met different people, made new friends. I knew that I
have be what I am and never lie to anybody. This one lie can bring down my good
image that I had earned for years. And my friends always trusted me for
whatever I was and I am.
Then came the time when parents
started looking for a groom for myself. I had a past which I thought was very
necessary to share with my future life partner before getting into a
relationship. I was very sure that I will not hide my past with anyone I meet
and whoever was ready to accept my past with me, I will marry him.
I met many guys and told them about
my past. Most of them did not called back again after the first meeting. At one
point of time I thought whether my truth is going to cost me this big. But then
I met HIM. He very calmly listened to my entire story and didn’t said a word to
me about it. We had lunch and left for our homes. I lost the hope that he would
call me again. The next day to my surprise, I got a call from him asking if I
would come out for coffee. I didn’t had any words and just said yes.
We spent around 2 hrs speaking to
each other. But not even once he asked any questions or details about my past.
To my curiosity I asked him, if he was ready to go ahead with the relationship
after knowing about my past. To which he said, the past was past and it didn’t
bothered to him at all. The thing that impressed him was my courage to place
the truth in front of him and hold the responsibility for it. It is not easy to
face the truth and share it with some stranger. This action of my made a huge
impact on him and helped me earn his trust. He said that he was confident that
a girl who can share such a big truth of her life, will never hide anything
from her partner and he completed trusted me on that.
The trust that I had earned from him
that day is still strong as rock. This trust has held our relationship so
strongly for last 5 yrs and I am sure will continue till our lifetime.
You will not realize the impact of
truth initially, but once you make it a part of your personality, people will
start recognizing your character which will help you to earn their trust.
