Relationships are the 'main stuff' of life!

We all have relationships - with family, friends, ourselves, our environment, co-workers - that need care and attention to flourish.

Look at all the places in your life where you have relationships:

Spouse/partner • Family • Friends • Neighbors • Colleagues • Boss • Rivals • Customers • Subordinates • Suppliers • Mailperson • Grocery Clerk • Doctor • Bank Manager • Mechanic • In-Laws • Step-family • Grandparents/grandchildren • Priest/Guru/Spiritual Leader • Students • Teachers • Coaches • Children's Friends' Parents... It goes on and on!

Even if you're a hermit, you're having a relationship with yourself... it's unavoidable.

So are you having good relationships?

Do you know what makes a good relationship? Does anyone?

There are some "standard" criteria for what makes a good relationship, however, much of the day to day stuff is subjective, and changes regularly.

Consider this - the better your relationship with yourself, the more positively you will define a good relationship.

People with low self-image tend to settle for relationships that they would not necessarily even consider if they felt better about themselves or their situation.

This is why it's SO IMPORTANT to cultivate a good relationship with your SELF first!

These are all places where you have opportunities to create healthy, supportive, mutually accountable environments that better both your lives. What are you doing about that?
