3 Quick Tips to Build Trust with Others

��If you���re searching for inspiration and advice on building resilient trust in your own life, here are three perspectives from Captured by Love that show how trust strengthens resilience ���

Integrity and good character are the foundation.

This perspective may seem obvious, but when the pressure is high in leadership there���s always the temptation to set your character aside to gain a competitive edge or relieve pressure and stress.

The POWs were often tortured when we would not share information and cooperate with our communist captors. Our leaders went first into the fire and set the example of courageous commitment to the military code of conduct.

Keep your word and your commitments.

This perspective can be hard for some people who are insecure and are afraid of what consequences may occur by keeping your word. During the Vietnam War, the wives and families back home and the POWs in the camps fought hard to be loyal to each other and those who were on their team and fighting with them.

These natural acts of building trust in difficult times created the ���glue��� that held us together when the enemy was trying to pull us apart.

Good communication is essential.

A heart-warming example is shared in the first story of Captured by Love about F-105 pilot Capt. Wes Schierman and his wife Faye. Before Wes went off to war, he knew it was possible that he might become a POW or even be killed, so he wanted to help Faye prepare for living without him.

He sat down with her and initiated a discussion on the various challenges that she would have to face as a single mom with two children if he did not come home. As they discussed the various hardships and decisions she might face, he asked her questions of ���what if and how would you handle it?��� They discussed what the options and choices might be for her to operate without him.

In this process, he communicated to her that he trusted her and believed that she could handle it.

You Can Do It!

Whatever you���re facing today that requires resilience and endurance, remember to build trust as the glue that will strengthen you during this season.
