My theories on trust and commitment
So, through my life I haven't always been the most trustworthy and committed person. I do have a history of being somewhat of a flake. But, what I have developed over the past couple years is the ability to truly trust myself and understand what honesty, trust, and commitment are. Just because in my past I have been a flake, does not mean that I am today. The past is not a measure of who I am today. I understand that commitment means that you WILL do something, not a maybe or a possibly. If you make a commitment to someone, its something you WILL DO no matter what happens. If you make a commitment to do something or to someone, and then back out....it just makes you a selfish person. Because something happens that makes you change your mind about the commitment you make, does not mean you shouldn't commit to it. For example.....when you marry someone, you take an oath "til death do you part." And you make this commitment under the grace of God. Just because someone changes or goes through a rough time, does that mean you should change that oath/commitment you made under the grace of God? No, because its a commitment! Commitment=honesty=trust. I understand I'm not perfect, but one of my best qualities is my ability to learn from my mistakes. I do that better than anyone I know. And fortunately for me, I've made a LOT of mistakes.........which means, I've learned a lot. I will continue to learn and to grow as a person and as a man. I am all about having truly honest and reliable people in my life and if thats not you, then I say good riddance to you.
