3 Basic Choices To Empower Our Relationships

There are so many things we can all do to improve our existing relationships, regardless of their nature. But if we only applied these 3 Basic Choices To Empower Our Relationships, we would certainly make them more fulfilling for all parties involved.



#1 Choose Loyalty

This of course means being there when it matters. But it also means standing up for the relationship by not getting involved in gossip talks with others, about our lover, friend, sibling or whoever that person may be. The loyalty we show when the person is there to see is powerful, but the one we display to others when that person is not there to witness, can make the relationship bullet proof.



#2 Choose To Give

Relationships are, in many instances, like joint bank accounts. The account holders can only withdraw what they've put in. And the more they put in, the more "compound interest" they can expect to reap! Contrary to common belief, our main responsibility in a relationship is to give. It's always easy to question the other "joint account holder's" behavior, but if we have the relationship at heart, we will seek to give first.



#3 Choose Truthfulness

There's always a fork in the road in any relationships. One side of the fork seems to commonly offer a wider and smoother path, whereas the other often looks narrower and bumpier. This comes in the form of an event or a situation when we have to choose between the plain truth or... a "twisted" one. As hard as it is to say, we should always choose the truth. When we do, not only does it display that we stand for our word, it also echoes our loyalty and our willingness to continue to give to the relationship.







The endless choices we now have in all areas of life, affect our perceptions. Perceptions like the new "flavor of the month" or the novelty, ought to be better than the "old" one... Or the sense that everything is disposable, because after all, I can always get a new upgraded version of what I have... It brings also the notion of "change," that we have to look for change at all costs, because if we don't, we may become obsolete or "passé."



When it comes to our relationships, we seriously think that we have to be very cautious about the subtle effects of the "endless choices society" we live in. We think it's time for all of us to make basic choices that will empower the relationships we cherish. The kind of choices that are not new, on the contrary, they are rooted, old fashioned choices, that define who we are, where we come from, and more importantly can remind the other person in the relationship, what we intend to continue to build upon.
