“Commitment is not a word you give to others.
It begins with the value you give to your own word.
If you break your promise once, then the next time you say “I will do it,” people will listen, but they will not trust.
Because trust is never in the promise.
Trust is in the follow through.
When you value your commitment, people respect you.
When you break it, people doubt you.
So before expecting anyone to believe your word, ask yourself one thing.
Do you stand by what you say, or do you only say it?”
Quote by Thanzil Salam
“Sales begin when hesitation ends, and hesitation ends when value feels undeniable and trust feels real.”

“Patience is not the absence of urgency; it is the presence of trust. It is the understanding that progress has its own timeframe, and that your role is to remain consistent long enough for the seeds you have planted to mature into outcomes that honour your efforts.”

“Human beings evolved to live in small bands with people more or less like themselves. But today, many of us live in wonderfully pluralistic societies. In America, Europe, India, and many other places, we're trying to build mass multicultural democracies, societies that contain people from diverse races and ethnicities, with different ideologies and backgrounds. To survive, pluralistic societies require citizens who can look across difference and show the kind of understanding that is a prerequisite of trust—who can say, at the very least, “I’m beginning to see you. Certainly, I will never fully experience the world as you experience it, but I’m beginning, a bit, to see the world through your eyes.”

“Trusting desire, starting to learn
Walking through fire without a burn
Clinging a shoulder, a leap begins
Stinging and older, asleep on pins”

“So far I’ve been describing a process of getting to know someone as if we live in normal times. I’ve been writing as if we live in a healthy cultural environment, in a society in which people are enmeshed in thick communities and webs of friendship, trust, and belonging. We don’t live in such a society. We live in an environment in which political animosities, technological dehumanization, and social breakdown undermine connection, strain friendships, erase intimacy, and foster distrust. We’re living in the middle of some sort of vast emotional, relational, and spiritual crisis. It is as if people across society have lost the ability to see and understand one another, thus producing a culture that can be brutalizing and isolating.”
