Relationships

August 2, 2012

Relationships can be very tricky.  Be it your family, your friends, or intimate partners, you must treat them with kit gloves.  You have to expect the unexpected and go with the obvious in some cases.  By that I mean, Mayou Angelou once said "When a person tells you who they are, believe them".  Stop trying to change a person.  It is not going to happen.  One thing is for sure and that is that if they are around you long enough and have a desire to change they will.  But it has to come from within.  It has to be their choice.  Don't push because they push back.  Be gentle and kind with your suggestions and some of it could stick.  Just be and let your presence make the statement.  A lot is said though silence most times.  It takes a stronger person to be silent and recognized than one who is noisy and overlooked.
