Relationships

"The most important ingredient we put into any relationship

is not what we say or what we do, but what we are."

Stephen Covey

Once the false derivative to stay small fades, we can discover deep roots leading down to our soul.  Through inner expeditions, we learn what is truth about our nature, intentions and limitations. To honor and respect our sense of self, we can then best create enhanced relationships with others.

If we desire to experience relationships fully there is a need to be open and free flowing. We must listen to ourselves, continuously updating thoughts and actions. There is comfort in knowing who we are and who we can yet become. Living is a process, and we must stay true to ourselves and choose our fellow travelers carefully. 

We must listen, evaluate, and translate actions and conversations when building relationships.  Although interests may be diverse, if our character and morals align, much can be shared. It is as though a feast can be made by what each brings to the table. Gather numerous chairs around, for it is through friendships that life abounds.
