Relationships

Hello World!

Relationships are the key to all happiness. I've been here for 23 years on this planet and not all my relationships are the best. But I do the best I can whenever I'm with these groups. It's tough to understand everyone because not everyone opens up and shares their personal stories. To have successful and happy relationships with people you care about you need these ingredients: trust, respect, and loyalty to one another.

With that being said Trust is very important in all relationships because of the fact that if we don't trust each other, we would not give them a time of the day. I have friends that I hang out with once in awhile but that doesn't mean I trust them. They have to earn that degree of trust. Don't throw all your energy in one basket. My friend believe they should have my trust because they've been friends with me for most of my life. Yet the people who are closest to you may be the ones you watch out for. My reason is because they know more about you then the strangers that you encounter. I've had friends that I've trusted who have betrayed me only to capitalize on the girls I introduced them too. I've made that mistake one to many times in my life. I use to think that trust was easy to create but it has to be earned through trial and error. People in relationships are always giving you small tests to observe how each person is. My rich friends that I hang out with are all about trust if they don't trust you they would not speak to you. They can read people better than poker players because most wealthy people are more intelligent and wise.

In addition, trust isn't the only thing you need for a successful relationship. How about respect? Respect is huge when it comes to being friends, talking, and having fun with one another. Respect is such a huge part of the recipe because it tells the other person your with that you see them eye to eye. That you don't judge them for who they were but who they are now. Respect for one another is like sitting out in the rain next to each silently without taking someones space. Respect is sharing your story with each other and not gossiping behind their back. People who respects you are the people you want to be around. Those are the people that have ethics and places in life they'd like to go. Think about the past and realize that respect is important.

I couldn't have forgotten loyalty. I have many moments in my life where when i was little we had a small gang of cool kids and we had kids that were losers. But who hasn't been through that when you were young and stupid. However, I had friends that I trusted with my life at that age. I don't know what I was thinking but it they were unloyal because they kicked me out of their little gang. I was hurt and I felt betrayed and rejected. It wasn't a good feeling but it help me realize how immature I was because I didn't need a group of idiots pretending they were cooler than everyone else to make me feel good about myself. I had to learn that the hard way. Loyalty is huge because it shows character. It lets the other person know that you are with him until the end. You will not betray him for something insignificant or irrelevant in your life. Sometimes we may get blinded by the people in front of us because when we see things or places that others have been, we want to imitate them.

All in all, I'd like to say thank you for reading and don't forget that it takes two to ruin a relationship. Find out the problems that arise and deal with them before they escalate to a bigger problem. Investigate and observe the people that are more successful and try to follow their paths. See where they find positivity in their lives to help them build confidence and a life of happiness.
