Pick any important relationship in your life & assess.
How's it like? It could be rocky, or smooth; filled with turmoil, flat-lining,
or flaming with joy.
What do you think makes a difference? If you think hard
about it, you'll find that the "smooth" & "flowing with
joy" relationships have agreements on core life values you share with the
other.
If it's your partner, friend, colleague, parent, sibling, or
kid, you're assessing your relationship with, you'll realize that the more
you're like each other, the more you like each other.
Still, no two people are alike. And if you focus on your
differences, you, surely, head that "rocky" road describing how your
relationship is like. Rings a bell in any case?
If you really want to hold on to having them in your life,
what are you to do if you were to smoothen the path both of you walk?
Examine the whole
package. Acknowledge & accept the differences. Focus on your similarities
& bring these to spotlight in your interactions.
"The proper cement building all relationships, is
loudly appreciating the commonalities more than drawing attention to the
differences." ~3Ds
It's been said that thriving relationships have a ratio of 5
positive interactions to each negative one, usually.
Perhaps it's re-engineering time of how it's like. Think
hard. They have abundant material you can use as cement.
Start mixing: a trait here, a behavior there, dash of love, & sprinkle all with
understanding.
Happy "building"....
Happily ever after J
