Creating Meaningful Connection With People

Over the years, I have come to understand that building relationships and connections with people can lead to a more fulfilled life. In fact, in all the things you do in life, you cannot avoid meeting people, so you have to learn how to relate with them to profit you. Of course, there are impacts that people can create in your life that you cannot achieve if you stay alone and isolated. This is why you have to create meaningful relationships with people. Remember that what you are looking for may be in the hands of someone else, but you need to connect with them first in order to get it.

You will be surprised that the relationships or connection that you create today will be what you will fall back on tomorrow, and may even be what will save you in the future, so make good and worthy relationships with people. However, you need to understand that it takes more than just meeting people to create a worthy relationship with them, you will need to master the art of communication, trust, mutual respect, and may even make sacrifices for them. You are not gifted a good relationship, you have to build it and earn it.

It is funny how people will only remember who they call their friends when they want favour from them and after that, they will be long gone. This is not how to build a relationship that will last. Try to be conscious, intentional and deliberate about making friends and in relationship. Call them from time to time, check up on them, be there for them and let them know it. Go a mile for them, so that when you also need them to do the same for you, they will be willing to do it. Do not only call them when you want something from them, let them be your friend indeed. You do not have to always bore them with what you want them to do for you, also look for what to do for them.

I ask you this; how will you feel about a particular friend that will only call you when they need something from you but will not be there for you? Definitely you will get tired of them and may even try to avoid them and their parasitic mentality. But for the friend that will always stand for you and go an extra mile for you, you will not draw back from also going more miles for them. If you want to make and retain friends and relationships, then you have to make yourself friendly and also be a friend indeed, not a friend by condition.

One of the questions that you need to ask yourself in regards to friendship and connection is "are you fulfilling your own part of the demands of friendship?" Let your friends also feel your impact as their friend, so that it will strengthen the walls of the friendship. When you are making friends today, you have to be intentional about it because of the sake of the future too. Remember that you may need them and they may also need you tomorrow.

Even when you want to part ways with someone today, you can still keep the friendship open, because you may not know where you will meet them in the future. The person that you saw today on your way out, even if they do not look like it, might also been the one to help you on your way back, so learn to keep open and good relationships. You should not take anyone that you come across today for granted, because they may become part of your success story tomorrow.

A lot of people have missed out of good connections simply because they looked down on the people that would have been their destiny helpers. One of the funny things about life is that the person that will help you tomorrow may not look like it today, so learn to treat people well enough in order to retain them.

Thanks for reading

Peace on y'all
