Relationships

Why is it that every time our relationship with people closest to our hearts goes sour, we start feeling that its the end of life!!!

Relationships & People (R&P) are important but not the ONLY thing in the world. They give us happiness but so does so many other things in life. A lot of people come to me in their 'darkest' hours of life and seeking guidance on next steps. I am not an authority on this subject but try to help by listening to them and helping them listen to themselves. For me an individual comes first and one should never sacrifice their self esteem for anything / anybody else in the world. What exactly encompasses self esteem is an individual decision and ONLY that individual should define that.

I feel the key to successful relationships is to always try and understand the other person. And more importantly try to accommodate changes based on feedback but not at the cost of changing yourself drastically - remember the person was in love with you with all your negatives in so its a question of 'customer delight' in a sales parlance.

So go ahead and enjoy each and every moment with your loved ones and build relationships that will stay with you throughout your life..
