5 Ways Of Making Relationships Beautiful (Part 2)

2● Along with creating affirmations for the self, a very important virtue that makes relationships stronger and more beautiful is respect for others. Why is it that nowadays either deep respect in relationships is lacking or even if it is present, it is not constant? Why have people become so egoistic and even a small negative circumstance can make all the respect shared between two people to be forgotten? Today, you see two people respecting each other immensely and after a year or two, they don’t see eye to eye. What is it that is not working in relationships?

➤Giving respect to others, others’ sanskars, others’ interests, others’ opinions, others’ lifestyles, others’ ways of working, and not only thinking about oneself will make relationships lovely and they will work longer. Remember the one who respects oneself or has good and positive self-respect, is the one who respects others more. The first step to a good relationship is a positive self-affirmation every morning – I am special and unique in this world and so is the other. I respect myself and respect the other. I give the other space to be themselves. That is true respect.

3● A beautiful characteristic of each soul in this world is love and relationships for every human being is a medium of give and take of love. Sometimes some people’s love is conditional and based on selfish desires. As long as their desires are fulfilled, they are full of love for the other. The moment the other person is unable to fulfill their desires, they can become revengeful and bitter. This is false love. So, becoming full of true and unconditional love is the key to long-term and positive relationships. This kind of sharing of love will resolve differences with others and keep you united and strongly connected always.

Message for Today

"The power of careful listening brings inner peace"

Thought:

Sometimes we tend to get offended when someone says something, even if they didn't mean it with the intention of hurting others. Because we only listen to the words they say without understanding their intent. This can lead to misunderstandings and arguments, which can ruin relationships.

Process:

When someone tells me something, it is important to understand their intent instead of just listening to their words. When I understand the intent behind the words, I am able to get something from them instead of fighting.
