Keys To Nurturing Healthy Relationships

Building and nurturing relationships can be one of the hardest things to do, especially when they are new!  Staying true to yourself no matter the circumstances is the only way people will be able to gain a true understanding of who you are and what you stand for.  It is imperative that you have a sound perception of who you are in order to nurture healthy relationships.  Once you've accomplished this task your focus will not have to be on yourself at all times, thus making it easier to focus on someone or something else without compromising what is most important to you. 

It is difficult to relate to someone else if you can't see past yourself!  This is why it's important to be knowledgeably aware of the character/nature of who you are physically, mentally and emotionally.  I challenge you to seek to understand yourself from these aspects.  The challenge here is to face yourself, face your problems, face your life.  Think about where you are, and where you want to be.  Think about what you want and what you need out of life.  Is there anything that you can improve on?  Now is always the best time for change!

Look your problems square in the eye and tell them, "I have the ability to make you go away!"  Give yourself a new beginning, Do You!  Set goals for yourself and accomplish them!  Don't doubt yourself, prove yourself!  Don't beat yourself up when you mess up, just simply try again!  Keep it moving!  Don't let anyone stop you from stepping your game up!  It's YOUR GAME!!  You have the power to define who you are and will be.  Take control of your life!  It is yours, isn't it?  Then, you should be in charge of you!  Everything you say and do should be a conscious decision.

 Relationships come in all forms, parent/child, husband/wife, and the list goes on.  People are different and so are our wants and needs.  Having a basic understanding of who you are is only the beginning of your journey.  Healthy relationships are nurtured by open communication, understanding, compromise, conflict resolution and growth.  The ability to see beyond yourself is definitely a key element in this process.  Once you've become comfortable with doing the all these for yourself, apply it to your relationships!

Seek to understand your friends, family, co-workers, people in your organization etc. work together to resolve your problems, come up with solutions!  Communicate effectively/respectfully (this is your secret weapon)!  Seriously!  Listening (for the purpose of understanding) is just as important as speaking!!! And last, but definitely not least, treat people the way you want to be treated at all times.  You will add dimension to your relationships, and you will experience the benefits that result from building stable and healthy relationships!

All About Perspective

It can be very difficult to prevent feeling bogged down by the ups and down of life. Everything can be going just fine one minute and then life throws you a curve ball. I've learned the importance of keeping things in perspective. I am not speaking about your personal point of view, I am referring to the true understanding of the relative importance of things. Anyone can do this, and it involves only a few steps! Be open minded! Take your time and objectively weigh the pros and cons, educate yourself before you assume, talk to people who know first hand, and finally consider what's best for you.

Things happen all the time. That's how life has been and that's how it will always be. The question is how will you allow your circumstances to affect you? Positively or negatively? When I feel overwhelmed with decisions that I must make I often ask myself, "am I looking at this from the correct perspective?" If my answer is yes, I can comfortably move on to the next step in my problem solving activity. The more you hone this skill the easier problem solving becomes. It is a very powerful tool in business and in life.

I recommend you try it, see if it makes a difference in your life and your business. For those of you who may be afraid to take chances, the next time you feel the urge to pass up an opportunity that is presented to you, do yourself a favor, make sure that you take some time to examine it from the right perspective before making a decision against something. The opportunity might just be worth the risk. Look at it this way, ultimately the decision is yours, so why not make it a thoughtful one? You may see it as small carefully thought out decisions, however, this alteration in your decision making process could change your life! It can become the determining factor in the success of your career, personal life or business!
