Monday's Opening Thought: August 16, 2021

This week’s opening thought: I don’t know who needs to hear this but trust is earned. People having and maintaining their faith in you and your intentions is earned. Trust is not a given. Faith is not a given. And when you deliver a blow to that trust and faith? It’s your job to atone and do the hard work to repair and rebuild that eroded trust and faith. And it is not the job of those you’ve harmed by thinking you’re owed someone’s trust and faith in you to just magically trust you or have faith in you again with no atonement or repairs initiated on your part.

Whoever needed to hear that (even if they didn’t want to)? I hope you caught all of that.

Sounds like you’ve got some work to do.
