What’s the reason for us being in relationships?
I was recently asked this question, after I answered what I thought it was, I was given another perspective on it. It really got me to think about the way we approach life.
Whether you are in a business-, friendship-, love- or any other relationship, you are in it for one reason: To add value to the other person’s life. It’s as easy as that. If you’re in a love relationship, you are in it to add value to your wife’s life. If you’re in a business relationship with a client, you are in it to add value to their lives. If you’re in a friendship relationship, you’re in it to add value to their lives.
And what do you get out of it?
Well, you get value added to your life! Think about it, why else would you spend time with someone? If you weren’t getting anything out of it, you’d be wasting your time. To be able to get the real value out of it, you shouldn’t concentrate on what you’re getting out of it though. That is where the problem lies in with the way people think today. It’s always about what YOU (or I) can GET out of it, and not about what YOU (or I) can DO.
Advise that will help you relationship
Next time you’re about to do or say anything just think for 1 second if what you’re about to do or say will add value to the other person’s life. Remember, you are there to add value to the other person’s life!
