Virtue of the Week focuses on building peaceful and caring communities through understanding and fostering the practice of virtues. The Source supports the Virtues Project and will publish one virtue developed by the project each week.
Trustworthiness
Trustworthiness is being worthy of the trust others place in us. When we give our word, we stand by it. Others can rely on us with confidence. We demonstrate by our actions that we keep our promises and commitments. There is constancy in the way we love and loyalty in the bonds of our friendships. Trustworthiness is the foundation of our business agreements and our personal covenants. When we are worthy of trust, we attract abundance. We create lasting success.
Quote: “To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.” –George Macdonald
The Practice of Trustworthiness
I am reliable.
My actions match my words.
I only make promises I can keep.
I am faithful in love and friendship.
I treat my agreements as a sacred trust.
I attract prosperity by being worthy of trust.
I am thankful for the gift of Trustworthiness. It is the foundation of my success.
