Relationships

Did you know that relationships are hard?

They take work.

Everyday.

All relationships require some effort and attention on your part.

Think about all of the relationships you have today.

Parents, children, superiors, subordinates, friends, lovers, aquaintances...

Each and every relationship takes time and effort to keep it going.

It is only through the hardships that you find the integrity and courage to keep going. It is through the struggles that you build character and discover what is most important. It is only with the sour that you appreciate the sweet.

So, work on it.

When was the last time you asked someone else how they were doing and really stayed to listen to the answer?

When was the last time you told someone that you were glad they are in your life?

When was the last time you really hugged someone? Kissed them? Told them that you loved them?

When was the last time you did the dishes, picked up your socks, took the trash out, or any of those little things without being asked?

When was the last time you asked someone if there was something you could do to make things better?

When was the last time you smiled remembering something they said?

Try to do one of those things everyday.

Don't tell anyone, just start doing them.
Watch what happens.

Go on now, work on your relationships...
