Positivity

2 + 2 = 5 or 2 + 2 = 3 ?

What is this? 2 + 2 = 5  or 2+2 = 3? Am I insane? Mad?

No.

It means your relationships with society , spouse , children , peers etc can make wonders (2+2 = 5) or can make your life miserable ( 2 + 2 = 3 ). It’s people power that makes the difference !

From morning since wake up untill the night we sleep, what is the one activity we do non stop is to either create / maintain the relationships with the components of the external world.

Have a good relations & your day will be rocking at home /office. Vice versa is also true. Then how to create / maintain superb relationships ?

1) Expect less ( or nothing at all if you are Saint )

2) Don’t hear but listen.

3) Don’t judge fast to someone unless you have all the information about his decision , action & inaction.

4) Give ‘space’ to other person. The bird in cage dies faster than the bird in jungle with voluntary flying.

5) Patience is the art one need to practise . Immediate expectations kills relations faster.

6) Go in his shoes to understand what he “means ” than what he “said”.

7) Be supportive & not just problem finder. Human being tend to remember the support you have given during their down time.

8) Don’t be more emotional ( I am not insane but I mean it, Positive “detachment” is what I am talking about in case of you are possessive & eventually harms yourself )

9) Be humble  & kind ( but please don’t lose your self esteem )

10) Selfless love always wins !

  2. Wow! Such a great message. It is not that I’m commenting high for sake, I find this post something in high note. This post is trapped with the life message in very brief words! All points have profound meanings. Among them, the most influential sentences are,
    “Don’t hear but listen.” – Realistic.
    “Go in his shoes to understand what he “means ” than what he “said”. ” – words of purity.
    “9) Be humble  & kind ( but please don’t lose your self esteem )” – wisdom( so true)
    These may look like one in ordinary sentences for an overview reader, only one who is cautious on every words there, can comprehend the deep insight of it. If we start to follow as per these three powerful sentences, life surely will be beyond expectations.
    Good work.

  3. This was awesome. Thank you for sharing! I’m always trying to improve my listening. It’s so much better to listen than to be heard. Thank you for this reminder – I really appreciate it.

  4. I need to work on #8. I get too emotional and angry. As for the next one, there is a Tim McGraw country song out where he sings, “Always stay humble and kind.” It is a good one to remember. When we get to full of pride, life has a way of taking us down a rung and reminding us of humility.

  5. Very good tips for maintaining a good relationship. But, a relationship doesn’t depend on one’s attitudes or behavior. The other person has to understand that. Otherwise, it’d be impossible for one to hold a relationship for a long time.

  6. Especially love #7. It is so easy to think that criticism is for the others good, but generally it is just our need to be perceived as “right”. We really need to build a relationship of trust before someone can receive criticism well.
