“Get off
surface and deepen your relationships. Go after buried treasures and reap rewards.” Beth TabakGet past “how are you doing? how’s wife and kids?” with response being “good, not so good, or fine” to story behind each person. This is when you develop connection, and people grow from connection. People seek value and want to contribute. Whether you want to increase business, develop your career, gain support, eliminate barriers, create opportunities, or merely relate and be loved; benefits of widening your inner circle and going deeper are astronomical.
How easy it is to get comfortable with where we are and who we are with. We sometimes close door to getting to know others around us who could add great value to our lives. Growth is a tremendous part of human life. We grow physically. We grow in knowledge and wisdom. Many of us strive to grow spiritually. We grow in and out of relationships. It seems that when we are growing more fulfilled we become. When we are not growing we become disconnected, bored, and frustrated. While you may have many good relationships, is it possible that you are missing out on other remarkable experiences because you have relaxed into your comfort zone? Keep in mind that more connections we have more opportunities come our way, and deeper those connections more stimulating relationship. So what is first step?
The first step is to create best relationship with only person you are guaranteed to be with for your entire life. Yes, you! You attract relationships which are a reflection of yourself. So if you do not like who you are attracting, then take time to develop relationship with yourself. Take pride in all that you are. When you surrender and let go of all things you think you should be, you begin fascinating journey of being who you are meant to be. When you except yourself for all that you are...strengths and weaknesses...you can except others in same way. You expend less energy when you are authentic, yet you are more likely to have a profound impact on others. When you take full responsibility for your own happiness you remove burden from others of fulfilling those expectations. This lightens relationship enabling it to blossom.
