Do NOT burn ALL your Bridges

Do NOT burn ALL your Bridges

Do you see things only as black and white??

Are you playing YES or NO game or SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN?

Are you viewing opportunities as only my way OR a high way?

I can see it as:

-          -  YES

-         -  NO

-         -  MAYBE

We always have a choice. Always! No matter what!

What we do with it is all that matters!! YES!

We all do our best with the resources at hand and at the particular moment.

The today’s topic can be applied to any relationship. From employee and employers, friendships, co-workers, ex lovers, siblings, flatmates, business partners, teacher and student relation, neighbours, landlord vs. tenant, husband and wife,  boyfriends, girlfriends to school mates, etc. etc.

It is so easy to slip, so easy to be tempted, so easy to stick our tongue out and do our own thing. However, people have feelings such as much as we have!

The person to whom we have just told off could have been our tomorrow’s best friend! Or your employer! Or you soul-mate (whatever that means to you!)! Or someone who could have saved your/our life in 2 weeks’ time!

It always makes more sense to finish on a peaceful note, to not have any resentments toward each other, to not hold any grudges with one another, to end on speaking terms, if possible!

There is no need to be enemies. Actually we should strive to work things out to the advantage and benefit to both parties. Let us be open and look for the intentions of the other person. If we are really, really willing to search for these, we WILL find them, we WILL be successful!

I have had relationships that came, some have gone and some I am currently in. I have been the sort of person who is curious about people, investing in them and believing in them. Some of them have made a lasting impression on me, some ‘just’ scratched the surface (such as a bank teller, however I am interested in being great friends, of course!). Nevertheless, in my eyes, they have come into my life for a reason and that make me think and decide to treat every one of them in a special way.

How about YOU and YOUR Bridges!!

or

Are they burning at the moment?
