Can "Likes" lead to love? Facebook announced it is launching an online dating service that will allow the 200 million Facebook users on the service who classify themselves as “single” to find a partner.
What's your vision of a great relationship?
What would it take for you to be fulfilled in your relationship?
The happiest people on the planet are the men and women who have dynamic relationships. No matter what continent you are in, this is a universal truth. People who give focus and priority to their relationships have a richer experience of relationship and of life.
The state of our relationships has an impact on every aspect of our lives. If we have a relationship that is struggling, there's a good chance it is affecting many areas of our life. The troubled relationship may be with a significant other, or we may have a relationship with a colleague, friend, child, parent or sibling that has fallen on rough times. This failing relationship can have a negative impact on the way we perform at work. On the other hand, when we are thriving in our relationships, especially our primary relationship, we tend to carry a very positive atmosphere with us wherever we go.
It's important to remember that the people you spend your time with are the people you spend your life on.
It doesn't matter if the relationship is between husband and wife, parent and child, friend and friend, lead and team member, or business executive and customer. The most empowering relationships are those in which each partner lifts the other to become the best-version-of-themselves.
There is no greater satisfaction than laying your head on the pillow at night and knowing you have touched another person's life, made his burden lighter, taught her some infinite wisdom, made him laugh, allowed her to cry on your shoulder, lend him an understanding ear...made a difference.
Make a difference. It is not that hard. Make a habit of making another person's day. Every day.
I'm as guilty as anyone; I admit it. My friends will tell you that I don't take the simple very important step needed to keep friendships going. Specifically, I'm not the guy that picks up the phone to text or call people as often as I should. I'm not the most nurturing guy. I've become aware that I need to start working on that, because encouraging and caring for one another is a basic step toward creating meaningful moments. I'm taking this more seriously the older I get. We all should.
Make time for the memories, because they're what matter most in the end
