The important of Trusting First

Trust thought for today - Trust First. This is one of the 5 Important Things to Know about Trust in my report.

Really like this article from Arnold Schrijver - looking forward to our further chats Arnold!

Here's his take on what you can gain by deciding to trust instead of distrust as a default:

Opportunity: Increasing the chances we get in life from our increased civic engagement.

Synergy: Increasing the outcome of the opportunities we take through better collaboration.

Sustainability: Because the mutualism is self-reinforcing, beneficial to all involved.

Wellbeing: By recognizing and appreciating human values and virtues more deeply.

Happiness: Because of all of the above, plus the friction and negativity spiral we now avoid.

Really worth a read.
