Relationship Booster : Look Beyond Yourself


It's only natural to look after oneself first,  but one can build a nurture that look beyond self and look towards others. There is no one you genuinely put first, that won't put you first. Even God is not an exception of this rule. When He said "Seek first His Kingdom, and everything other thing He would add to you.


The key to abundance, overflow, and lacking nothing is to put others first. When you have a pressing need, still consider its cost for others. When you are asked to go a mile, you can go twain. 


Every act of service would not go unrewarded, maybe not directly from the expected, but it sure would be. The law of seed and harvest time is as certain as the law of morning and night.


Have you even being asked a question or a favour and you answered or acted in favour of the other person. And with delight, the person reward you more greatly than he would, if you had being self conscious all the way ?


If you are alone in the house, there is a way you would behave, that you would never attempt to, when you are in the house with another person. It's because then, you have the consciousness of another being around. 


In like manner, if we can be conscious of others in any kind of relationship we have, we would behave differently and better than when we just think of oneself.


In looking after the interest of others, one's interest would be met. Don't care too much about yourself, that you  care less about others. You need others as well as others need you.


The key to finding fulfilment, is to look in the direction of others. Billionaires are those who look for other's needs and meet them, and are then rewarded for it. The limiting thoughts of the poor is that they always look in self direction and still lack everything.


The fastest route to self satisfaction and fruitful relationships is to look after others. Looking towards others might appear as though you are looking away from yourself, but it's an alternative and indirect way to look after yourself.


One way to love yourself is to love others, because many others you have loved, would love you in return. Which would make you being loved, more than when you only love yourself and no one to love you back.

Relationship Boosters: Mentality of Give and Take

"Give me, Give me Attitude" shortens the life span of any relationship, because life is a give and take, while death is a take and take. Any relationship without an exchange (give and take) will soon be dead. When anyone takes too much from a relationship than they give, life is being taken away from it gradually.  He who only knows how to take and not to give, becomes a parasite and might never be "A can't do without person". We should give, not because the other person lacks, but because we need to make deposits in order to withdraw for account not to show danger. I had lost friends in the past because of this deficiency, not because I wanted anything back, but because we all need to bring something to the table (time, effort or money) even if it’s not equivalent. Just like the image above is a moment of reunion, where we shared value. God GIVES us life and we GIVE him the glory. Our parent GIVE birth to us and we GIVE them honor. A man GIVES the ...

Friendship is Magical. It is the life of every coming together of two or more. Friendship building in any kind of relationship gives it a special spark and lift.  When couples are friends, they are in for a great lift. When a boss and an employee are friends, workplace becomes a home. When parent and children are friends, their relationship becomes cordial. When siblings are friends, they become so inseparable. When friends become friend, you have just got a soul knit friend. When stranger becomes friends, they become a family. Even organization are beginning to build friendship to keep the relationship cordial, they call it "customer care". They are aware, it’s the cheapest way to build repetitive purchase and loyal customer. The above picture is a lecturer - Student friendship built during my undergraduate days, which was an awesome and unforgettable experience. Anywhere you find friendship, please treasure it and where there isn't, start and nurture it, it...

Relationship Booster: Make a Strong Point with Love

One thing to do in order to oil and m oisturise our relationship is to always find a perfect moment to make a strong point. When your partner is weak of any sort (physical, financial, mental), you can show up your strength for him/her at such time, because it's such moment that he places his highest value on strength and that is not the time to deny him such.  When your partner offends you in an unimaginable way, such is the perfect time for you to find it in you to forgive. At such times, she think she is underserving of your forgiveness and if you truly can brace up and bring yourself up to it, you have made the strongest of point. Meaning he might never be able to recover from that kindness, by holding you far too dear.  True love is only known when it's the hardest to show, and known in the most difficult moments and not the rosy times we all think we love. The test of love can only be passed when you find it the hardest to love, yet you love anyways. it's when it cost ...
