Worth more than gold

Trust is not established by words. It is the result of action.

Even so, trust almost never comes from a single action. It grows through multiple repeated, reliable, consistent actions.

There’s enormous value in being trusted, and in being able to trust. Yet you cannot expect trust to materialize in an instant.

Put forth the effort and dedication necessary to make it happen. Allow sufficient time for trust to grow.

Once it exists, protect it with everything you have. Never even think of violating the trust of another, and be vigilant to make sure yours isn’t violated either.

Genuine trust is worth more than gold. Do the difficult work to build and maintain an abundance of it in your world.
