Relationships are certainly the area that we should invest the majority of ourselves in general. Relationships fuel us, they lift us up, make us more loving, make us more compassionate, make us more forgiving, make us more open, make us also more vulnerable, make us strong, make us more wise, make us laugh, make us happy, make us purposeful, make us more open minded, make us more grateful, make us more appreciative, make us more smiling, make us more friendly, make us more useful, make us more outgoing, make us more fun, make us more human, make us more alike.

How are you doing in this very area?

Could some improvement changes be noticed there?

Could you use some variability there, perhaps?

Whatever relationship we are currently finding ourselves in the main key is the communication. The communication we have with ourselves and the communication we hold with others around us.

How do you communicate to yourself? What kind of thoughts are running through your mind?

How do you communicate to others? Are you making them the centre of the attention? Are you making them your top tip priority? Are you literally letting them know of their huge presence they represent in your life?

How do you influence people around you?

How do you make them feel in your presence in and out of your speech?

How do you make sure the people around you like you?

How do you know the people around you are being appreciative of you being around?

How do you know the people around you are being grateful of you being around?

Do you feel like needing investing yourself more?

What kind of relationships are you having most challenge with?

What kind of relationships do you enjoy the most?

What kind of relationships do you feel you need to do most work on/at?

What else, apart from your time, your love, your patience, your energy, do you think in your humble opinion should be invested in any kind of relationship for that matter, after all?

What do you think in your humble opinion should not be invested at all in any kind of relationship for that matter?

How is your relationship with the closest and dearest and loved people to you?

How do you make sure you stay and keep in touch with them?

Are you more of a loner?

Are you more of an island?

Or do you feel more comfortable around a large group of people?

Are you a social butterfly?

Are you the outdoorsy type?

Are you the indoorsy type?

Are you a morning bird?

Are you a night owl?

What would be the most of yourself that you would be willing to invest for others?

What would be the least of yourself that you would be willing and obliging enough to invest for others?

Are you willing to go to the extra mile for another human being?

We cannot live without people. I have said it before and I am going to say it again: No man is an island. We need each other. We need one another’s company.

Make sure you are surrounded by loving, like-minded, fun, interesting, smart people such as you are!!
