Last Night the question was posed to me, How can I add more value to my relationships?
Every relationship can stand to have more value added. Friendships, family relationships, marriages, and work relationships all add value to our lives or why are we in them. Each one of those types have unique needs and one can spend a lot of time dissecting the value you bring and that you get out of it.
For the purposes of this post, I want to focus briefly on the general value I can bring to all my relationships.
Part of my problem, is I don’t know my own value, and thus I don’t know what value I bring to relationships. I think that might be my key to answering this question.
How can I add more value to my relationships? I think I can add additional value to my relationships by better understanding what values I am bringing to my relationships.
Am I bringing loyalty or consistency? Unconditional love and understanding?
It’s only by understanding where we are that we can figure out where we are headed. More simply stated, if you are looking at a map and trying to get directions from point A to point B, you need to know where point A is located.
Every GPS system knows that fact. When you type your destination, the system asks where you are starting. If you don’t know your starting point, you’re never going to be able to find where you’re going.
