RE: Rebuilding

in WorkLife2 years ago

Thank you for saying so, it was a personal account, one I have alluded to only loosely before, but it felt right to share a little more.

Many people in your position would probably give up on life and never try again.

This crossed my mind, I felt everyone was looking at me and thinking I was the king of fools to have not seen this coming. It was rather destructive for one such as me, a man that has always showed fortitude and courage.

You can rebuild everything because of the trust you give to people. Maybe the hardest thing in this world is to rebuild trust.

I'll admit that I am very slow to trust people, however I had to find the ability for it, and I have. It's been difficult though, probably more difficult that having to find the courage to stand up and take the emotional steps toward a viable future.

Anyway, as I said in the post, I'm not one to accept defeat, to capitulate or compromise on the things I know are pivotal to forward progression: Ownership, responsibility, discipline and effort. And so...I applied them and here I am.

Thanks for your comment, I greatly appreciate it.

No one can blame you for this because your experiences have made it harder for you to trust people. I can't judge anyone I meet here for not trusting me because most of them don't know anything about me. Everything will work out in time.

Indeed. It takes time to build trust in my opinion and people throw the word around so easily but for me, it's action and sustainability that helps build it.
