Click the title to watch the creator of BRAVING, Brene Brown, go into depth on what the seven elements of trust are and what they mean.
Friendship is not one big thing, but rather a million little things. To put this into perspective, we use marble jars to represent the fulfillment we feel in each of our relationships. Each marble represent a moment in which someone has earned our sense of trust in them. When someones shows support, loyalty, or vulnerability, marbles go into the jar. However, when they betray us or cross our boundaries, marbles come out. Those who have earned a great amount of marbles are those we can truly rely on.
