What's the one thing everyone needs on a date that is so hard to get?

Here are a few clues to the answer:

The answer is...

A 5-letter word.
Ends with the same letter as it begins with.
Has u in the middle.
Is on the money.
Did you get it?

The answer is TRUST

Without trust no relationship can be successful, no date goes as intended, and without trust true intimacy among couples is difficult to impossible.

Basically, without trust there is no integrity, and without some integrity building a successful relationship is a distant dream.

Here is a simple quiz that can improve your relationships by strengthening trust...


Answer the following:

• Are you a trustworthy person? Rank yourself (10-highest 1-lowest)
  
• Who is the most trustworthy person in your life? This is a person you can ABSOLUTELY depend on. Rank this person on their trustworthiness (10-highest 1-lowest)
  
• What traits do you admire the MOST about this trustworthy person in your life?

List 5 traits.

Examples of trustworthy traits that breed success in relationships are:

reliability

honesty

keeping your word

showing up on time

working hard

Choose 5 trustworthy traits to describe the most trustworthy person in your life, or use any of the above traits if they fit.

COACHING EXERCISE

For each day this week, take one trustworthy trait and apply it to your life.


Using the above examples here's how your week could look:


Monday I'll be reliable on every task for the entire day, no excuses (a great practice to do everyday).


Tuesday I'll be completely honest all day. I will tell the truth no matterwhat (hard to do but necessary, use discretion).


Wednesday I will keep my word and do what I say I will do NO MATTERWHAT (guarenteed success if you put this into practice everyday).


Thursday I will be on time all day to every event I agree to attend (this marks the difference between an average person and an extraordinary person).


Friday I will work the hardest I've ever worked in my life all day long (keep up this practice and you can plan for early retirement).



Take the 5 traits from your trustworthy "role model", apply them to your life this week and notice a different feeling around trusting others, specifically your partner, or future partner.

The more trustworthy you are the more you improve your trustworthiness on a date and in your relationship. You will develop strong boundaries, trust yourself more, and improve your chances for greater success in love.

Being trustworthy will turn your dating frown to a happy grin.

You will also change other basic behaviours that may be holding you back from your goals.

Have fun this week nurturing trust.
