I “follow”
the Positivity Blog. I recently read and
enjoyed Henrik’s “7 Powerful Habits for Happy Relationships.” He gave permission to share so I will do so
over the next few posts. If you don’t “follow”
Henrik’s blog, I recommend it.
“Happiness in life can come from
many things.
From how meaningful you find your
work to be. From a hobby you can get lost in for hours. Or from just being with
the natural world around you and appreciating the light rain and slowly falling
leaves of autumn.
A big part of the happiness also comes from the
relationships in our lives. And from how we cultivate them and let them grow.
1.
Treat other people as you would like to be treated.
The most basic guideline of
relationships is that how you treat someone is how that person is likely to
treat you too in the long run.
If you are kind and helpful they will
tend to be kind and helpful to you. If you never really listen or are
judgmental then you are likely to get that in return.
There will of course be exceptions.
Some people will not reciprocate and treat you well even if you treat them
well. And you may not get back what you give right away.
But in the long run and in most
cases things tend to even out.
Just don’t make the mistake of
waiting for everyone else to make a change or to take the first step. Instead,
be proactive. Be the one to take the first few steps to build the relationships
you want to live in and to start giving what you want to get."
