How to transform any relationship in minutes: Part I

(2-minute read time)

Relationships are all around us.  Some personal, some professional. Some easy, some not so easy.  And some of them are just plain hard.  

Because relationships are such a huge part of our lives I’m doing a 3-part series on them.  In this series, we will define what a relationship is, explore where the problems arise and what we can do to fix those issues.  

By the end of this series, you will have the tools to be able to transform any of those challenging relationships in minutes.  You’ll even improve the ones that are pretty darn good right now. Seriously, if you stick with me on these three posts you will be amazed.  

First, let’s start with defining relationships.  

I love the way Google defines the word relationship:  The way in which two or more people or groups regard and behave toward each other”

The verb “regard”, as it’s used in this context, is really just another word for “think about”.   So really, relationships are simply: “The way in which two or more people think about each other”. 

All relationships are just our thoughts about another person.  That’s it. 

For example, I have a best friend who is simply amazing.  I absolutely love her to pieces and I would do anything for her.  But, there are other people in this world who have a completely different relationship with her.  They don’t see her the same way I do.  

Why doesn’t everyone have an amazing relationship with this amazing woman?

Because their relationship with her really has nothing to do with her, it is all about what they think of her.        

This is amazing news.  It’s amazing because we always get to think whatever we want.  

I am not suggesting that we just simply think nice thoughts about other people and that fixes the problem.  We will talk about the actual fix in Part III. For now, just marinate on the idea that all a relationship consists of is your thoughts about another person.  Period.  

Don’t want to wait for Parts II & III to get to the fix for the challenging relationships in your life?  I can definitely help, just click here to schedule a free, 30-minute discovery session.
