Working Relationships

We tend to think of relationships as romantic ones — but truth is, we’ve got relationships with everyone we meet.

Some of them last, some of them don’t. But here’s what I’ve noticed: the one common thread in any successful relationship is work.

Relationships take work.

Now, you may consider yourself lucky to be in one that seems to run on autopilot — no maintenance required. But I’ve got to give you a little warning: Rocks ahead!

If you “set it and forget it,” you can pretty much forget about it lasting.

Life’s busier than ever. Most of us are juggling a lot — maybe even multiple jobs. And if you’re a parent, you definitely have multiple jobs, even if your paycheck only comes from one place.

Your time isn’t your own like it used to be. And sometimes, without even realizing it, you start taking that wonderful relationship you built for granted. Then one day, you look up . . . and it’s starting to crumble right in front of you.

Here’s a piece of reality: If you’re too busy to work on your relationships, you’ll eventually have fewer people to relate to.

We’ve all done it — taken people for granted. And we’ve all paid the price.

If you’re trying to rebuild a relationship, don’t worry — the work doesn’t have to double. You just have to remember that work is a constant. Once you’re back on track, you still have to show up and keep it going.

But that’s a small price to pay for something that gives you so much back.

And if you find yourself unwilling to do the work — that might be a sign. A sign that maybe you don’t really want to be in that relationship anymore.

That’s valuable information, too.

But before it gets to that point, you have a choice: Put on your work clothes . . . or stay on the couch.

One says you’re ready for relationships. The other says you’re just a slouch.

All the best,

John
