Relationships, 101....

Now that we understand love, the next step is relationships. How man of us go through life with fractured relationships? How many regret what was never said after a loved one has passed? That which is left unsaid haunts many people. Why be a victim of something so simple to solve?

Let's start with the first part of the word...relation. That's defined as the "art of restoring," bringing back. The definition defines exactly what you need to do to hold a relationship together. It's a daily struggle to restore. Some people in your life are easier to keep the bond restored with than others, and some are more of a challenge. A relationship by definition takes, wait for it,......effort! And it takes effort on both parts for a great relationship.

The second half of the word...ship. Defined as "to transport" or " a means of conveyance." It cements the definition of the root of the word. You are responsible in a relationship to send your love toward the other. So if there is a failed relationship in your life, are you holding up your end of the definition of the word?

Do you want to know how to develop and keep great relationships in your life? Here's the answer.....
Add value to that person's life everyday! It's foolproof, I'm a living example!

It always makes me wonder why this simple stuff wasn't taught in school. Then it struck me, I'd defined the school experience wrong. My mistake was, I thought education was there to prepare me for life, when in fact it was simply there to teach me how to get a job. But then, that's a whole other topic.............

God Bless!
