Day 13: The Comfort of Reliability and Trust

If someone or something appears to be reliable to us then it almost certainly means that over time we’ve experienced a high degree of consistency of delivery and therefore trust arises.

Buses that arrive on time every day.

Friends that show up when they say they will.

Trades people who deliver on the agreed contract on time and in full.

The bridge that always holds and carries us safely over the void.

We are comforted. We have trust.

Our offer is that we have a real-time responsive intelligence that’s always on, always available and always delivers, reliably if not predictably.

Problem is, we can't see it.

It's easier to trust something that's visible. It doesn't always occur to us to look to what is invisible.

What's most comforting is that, unlike the bus etc. It is always there, whether you know it or not. 

It is not dependent on anything else. In fact, the more you trust, the more you experience it, the more reliable it becomes.

To make the invisible, visible you can test it out. See if you can trust in its reliability. See for yourself if it's true and holds firm.

Test.

Trust.

Take comfort.

Test some more!
