Trust, by definition, is our unconditional belief that we can rely on someone. Trust is an often cited and seemingly important value that is usually expected of other individuals or groups. Trust is also confidence in a relatively defined degree of reliability and competence. Trust is seen as an advance of hope with regard to certain expectations. In its extent and form, this advance of trust is influenced by positive or negative experiences that we have had. In leadership, the opposite value is \u2018control\u2019. Ideally, both maintain a balance between the two. The common belief that you have to make a trade-off between these two values (\u2018trustis good, control is better\u2019) is not particularly beneficial. A constructive mindset assumes that trust eliminates control and, conversely, control eliminates trust.<\/p>\n

While I can find its definition in the dictionary \u2013 to place confidence in someone or something \u2013 I can\u2019t find the feeling of trust in its pages, nor can I find it in the mouth of my father. To trust, to truly trust, is to put your faith in the hands of someone else. To trust is an intimate and honest exchange: I trust you and you trust me. As cultural theorist bell hooks once said, \u201cWithout trust, there can be no genuine intimacy and love.\u201d A true and honest friendship is the most beautiful example of trust. It\u2019s a space without judgement, without fear, a space where you can laugh until you cry and cry until you laugh. Feelings can go unsaid, words can disappear into silence, and yet you trust that your person just knows. That\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Mouth of Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the portico of the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome, the Mouth of Truth (\u201cBocca della Verita\u0300\u201d in Italian) is a huge Pavonazzo marble mask-like male face with a wide-open mouth, nostrils and eyes. Despite being one of the most well-known sculptures in Italy and beyond, very little is known about its story \u2013 including its age. One of the most believed myths surrounding the sculpture, originating in the Middle Ages, is that liars who placed their hand inside the sculpture would immediately lose it. Hence the name, the Mouth of Truth.<\/p>\n

Supposedly, medieval Romans saw the sculpture as a lie detector for those who committed acts like adultery and perjury. A husband who mistrusted his wife took her to the Mouth of Truth to test her faithfulness. In an attempt to evade the powers of the Mouth of Truth, the woman reacted by pretending to swoon, and her secret lover, concealing himself as a madman, caught her in his arms. After this, the woman swore before the Mouth of Truth that she had only been in the arms of her husband and of the man that had just caught her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Bob Ross: The Art of Living<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOf all the arts, the art of living is the most important,\u201d declared Deborah Levy in her autobiographical novel Real Estate. Perhaps one of the most famous people to understand this \u2013 both creatively and personally \u2013 was Bob Ross, the American painter and host of the show The Joy of Painting. Between tips on how to become a seasoned artist, Ross shared, with his kind and gentle voice, meaningful life advice as he related his painting to his experiences. In his intuitive approach to painting, happy trees, calm streams and green hilltops are formed from singular criss-cross strokes that appear to be nothing more than smudges of colour.<\/p>\n

As more strokes are added, the blotches of colour transform into intricate paintings. Beginning with a blank canvas can be intimidating. But, as Ross assured his audience, it\u2019s about trusting the process. Trusting that something beautiful can emerge from destruction, that destruction can be a springboard for something new to emerge. An optimistic and philosophical view of art as a means to understand the world around us: to understand the art of trusting the process, the art of being, the art of living \u2013 in all of its beauty, ugliness, pain, joy, suffering and pleasure.<\/p>\n
