I was reading an article in today's tighter economy of how to focus on core things in your life economically, foregoing much of the frills and that would be your path to "richness." You know, coupon cutting, giving up cable, unlisted number phone charges, gourmet coffee, excessive meals out, etc.
I know "richness" has many forms, the material, your work, your passions, even in the spiritual realm our "eternal" riches. But I thought the title here very much beyond tough economic times and trying to navigate your way to being "rich" materially how about not WHAT'S important but WHO in your life is important.
Surely looking at a pie chart of time in your life or another one of energy you expend in your life, for your family, friends, significant other, ANYONE who you have in your top five or top ten IMPORTANT people, how are you doing with your focus, to get to a RICH relationship?
So you may ask, UNLIKE the budget cutting your way to prosperity, HOW do you get those SUPER SUPER rich relationships?
- Identify who are your IMPORTANT people, know this VERY clearly in your mind, with NO DOUBTS
- SPEND MORE TIME with them. Delete time from others not on the list. Text, email, or call them and ask "HOW ARE YOU???"
- PUT MORE ENERGY into them. Your caring, love, EFFORT in their lives will not go unnoticed
- Check with them how YOU are doing? People will be amazingly honest with you
Who among us does not want MORE rich relationships?? Also if someone does not reciprocate with you long term thinking they are important and you are not, you may want to reconsider if they belong on your list.
