Relationships That Encourage Growth

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

I will try to get to the essence of what works well with human interaction.

Firstly , all we all need relationships with others. Being placed in solitary confinement all your life is no good for anyone.

A newborn baby learns ;we hope;good things from those who interact with them from an early age. I have to say “I hope” as some children do come into the World who despised and ill treated from the day they are born. Humanity cries in shame and frustration. It is a chain of events that will lead to further abuse and dysfunction.We all sense it and know it.

This leads me to the second element that creates a positive relationship. One must have each others best interests at heart. Thus,a relationship can be with a person or an organisation that wishes you to become the best that you can be within the confines of a “safe place.”

None of us are Perfect ,some of us hate being told what to do.Even when a Relationship establishes that “best interests” of all parties are the aim.There will be disagreements about what is “best”.

Thus, the third element of a successful positive relationship is empathy and understanding.

Using these tools, conflicts can be analysed and resolved. It is a healthy situation when one can accept that mistakes are not irrevocable and that despite disastrous interactions or consequences, maintaining channels of communication as a way to move on is important.

The challenges to achieve a positive result in a relationship are immense but very much a work in progress.

I have been immensely lucky in my life,I have known key people who have had my best interests at heart. I have a relationship with them which I will never forget,it is an invaluable part of my psyche. Hopefully,I can pass that positivity on in my relationships.

It is what will make a Better World.
