Our lives is only as rich as the relationships we have with each other. If we have good relationships, our life feels a lot more fulfilling and abundant. It just feels that we have "more" if we get along with people around us --- from family, to friends, to acquaintances, or people in our community.
Good relationships are positive and authentic. It is real. It is honest. There is no pretending in good relationships. When someone in a relationship is pretending, the relationship becomes tainted and eventually breaks. To have a good relationship, authenticity must start from within. This means that you have to be true to yourself. Being true is listening to what your heart tells you or to the good that is inside you. I used to admire, or think, that being bitchy, is a strong personality. That thinking has changed. I believe that people who are always negative, or bitchy, those who are "acting tough" are just trying to protect themselves from being vulnerable. They do not want to get hurt and they believe that if they hurt others first, they are not going to be affected. If you feel that you are wearing this mask, you are not being authentic, you are not being true to yourself. Deep inside you have a good, kind heart.
“People are opportunities. The gift is in the interaction and the connection with another person, whether it lasts forever or not.” I cannot stress it enough how grateful I am for my family and friends. I am blessed to have met people who inspire me, who accept me and allow me to be my authentic self. Oh, I have friends who are such rare gems I could live forever and a day.
