You Have to Give to Get
Summary
- I've learned that to receive trust, forgiveness, or patience from others, you must first give those things.
- Lila is someone who embodies this principle. She always trusts first, forgives first, and shows patience before expecting it from others.
- My experience has shown that actions often speak louder than words. Demonstrating the behaviors you desire from your team can lead to a change in their behavior to match yours.
- By leading with actions, like Lila, you set the tone and can effectively change the dynamics of a team. This is something I've seen work multiple times.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by being the trust giver in your business or personal life. Trust others before you expect them to trust you. If you make a mistake, apologize and move forward with an open heart, showing that you're also ready to forgive first. This doesn't cost money; it's about your attitude and intentions.
Another good way of doing things is showing patience. If things don't go as planned or someone makes a mistake, stay cool and give the situation some time. Be the person who remains calm under pressure.
I've seen it work a lot; when you act a certain way, people around you start to copy that. So if you want a team that trusts, forgives, and is patient, you've got to lead the way. Like Lila, let your actions set the example.
Here is what you can specifically do:
Trust others.
- When you delegate a task, resist the urge to micromanage. Allow people the space to complete the work in their way.
Forgive mistakes.
- If an employee slips up or a friend lets you down, don't hold a grudge. Have a conversation about it, learn from what happened, and move on together.
Be patient.
- If progress isn't happening as fast as you'd like, take a step back and allow time for improvement instead of rushing or pressuring. This approach will reduce stress and often result in a better outcome.
Follow these steps, and over time, you'll likely see a positive shift in the dynamics of your relationships, both in business and in your personal life. Remember, change starts with your actions.
