Trust Is Built Over Time

We had a small, normal husband-and-wife argument today.

Me: “When is her friend’s birthday party?”

Wife: “They sent the invitation card to you, not me.”

Me: “Seriously? They sent it to you.”

Then we both turned to our 8-year-old daughter to settle it. She knew exactly when it was and who received the card, and that was the end of the argument. We both believed her.

It’s not about us getting old which might be!. Over time, my daughter has proven she has an incredible, vivid memory that captures small details and explains them clearly. We fully trust her memory now.

Two takeaways:

1. My daughter’s memory is top-notch.

2. Trust is created through consistent validation and small, proven moments over time.

“Trust isn’t given; it’s built, quietly, one proven moment at a time.”
