How to Increase Trust? (In Ourselves and Others)

The general connotation of trust on Earth is an aspiration mixed with fantasy.
People seek someone to trust, yet on the other hand, they impose so many obstacles and criteria on themselves and on others who are 'candidates' for their trust, that sometimes none of them, including themselves, can earn the coveted title: 'a trustworthy person.' In most cases, trust remains an aspiration. A distant source, beyond reach, through which one can trust people and feel secure in their presence.
If you wish to easily trust others, and yourselves, I recommend the following new foundational assumptions in this protocol:
1. **Redefine Trust** – Trust is the ability to rely on a person regardless of their actions.
You don't trust behavior; you trust people. If you trust behavior, you will never be able to trust anyone, not even yourself. Behavior changes according to laws that people don't recognize. This is a soulful law, based on the rhythm of a person's life lessons.
2. **Use Trust as an Empowering Tool, Not a Disabling One** – People use trust in ways that easily destroy their emotional stability and self-confidence. “I can’t trust you” is a phrase that rolls off the tongue more freely than “I can trust you.” Pay attention: What is easier for you to believe? Does your state of trust include an instinct that says – it’s more certain that things will be bad than good?
3. **Trust is a Tool for Collaboration** – When you trust yourself, or someone else, it doesn't mean you are surrendering to them or asking them to surrender to you. The only thing it means is that you have a common basis for collaboration. Trust allows you to maintain separateness, not just unity, between yourself and the other person. You can maintain your character traits and even help them or yourself through them.
4. **Trust Liberates from Self-Proof** – You don't need to prove who and what you say you are. Trust frees you from having to demonstrate your values and from searching for the values that the other person displays. You can simply embody them naturally and be who you are.
5. **Trust Allows You to See Clearly** – Trust allows you to see clearly what issues you or another person need help with. The goal of trust is not perfectionism, but a choice to help and be helped without judgment or clinging to the seemingly 'perfect' image you wish to see in your life.

Does trust become a healing tool with the help of these assumptions?
