Relationships

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me
- Henry Ford


Relationships are the key to so many things: finding and keeping your soul mate, finding and keeping your job, getting along with your family, closing deals, enjoying parties and social life and more. But how do we balance our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, as well as our social, family and work needs? This is certainly a big challenge. 

Too many people think this is impossible, so they give up on their existing relationships, hoping to start all over again with a new partner. Unfortunately, this approach brings a lot of sadness and frustration to any relationship. It leads people into the trap of justifying their unhappiness and/or blaming their partner for their own miscommunications. Either way, as the saying goes, it takes two to Tango. This means that relationships can only be "fixed" by aligning the people involved in them.

Look at any biography of a successful leader in society or in business and you'll see the power of knowing how to handle people. Think of the "nice" people around you and you'll recognise how much easier their life is because other people like them. If you're looking for that special person in your life, surely you'll appreciate these people who seem to know how to say "the right thing" or the ones who seem to have "the perfect relationship".
