We are in the middle of February and its the season to celebrate, declare, reinforce, remember, redeem, cherish, rekindle...what else but love! At the cost of sounding cliched, this feeling of love is truly in the air and all pervasive around the 14th of February. Whether one believes in Valentine's Day or not, the marketing blitzkrieg ensures that all of us are a part of this silly charade willy-nilly. But hey, who's complaining!
Whether its our parents, sister/brother, spouse, daughter/son, friend, neighbor or colleague the recipe for any successful relationship remains the same, albeit with varying measures. Here is my list of those ingredients for making the sweet rich concoction of a strong healthy relationship.
Presenting my A to Z list that makes the essence of my relationships richer, fulfilling and long lasting.
A- Appreciate, what the relationship has to offer and Acceptance
B- Being yourself
C- Commitment
D- Devotion
E- Expressing openly
F- Freedom
G- Give and take, the cardinal rule of any relationship
H- Honesty
I - Independent yet with a sense of belonging
J - Just and balance in responsibilities
K - Keeping the faith and having patience
L - Lively
M - Meaningful interactions
N - Never taking for granted
O - Open and transparent.
P - Passion
Q - Quietude
R - Respect for each otherS - Stimulating
T - Trustworthy
U - Unrequited
V - Veritable
W - Willingness to make it happen
X - X Factor (for lack of relevant words starting with X :))
Y - Being Young at heart
Z - Zealous
All said and done, I must confess that the above is a wish list and I continue to work on many aspects to make my relationships stronger and healthier. Its always work in progress and I guess we just need to keep working hard at it.
I am sure you too may have your own ingredients or the A to Z list for your relationships. Whatever the recipe, let us celebrate the feeling of love and cherish what we have with and within us, all through the year and our lifetime. Not just on Valentine's Day.
Love & Peace,
xoxo
