Creating and maintaining positive relationship is something that I thrive on. It not only enriches the meaning of my life but also makes it more fulfilling. I am ought to be related to my parents, siblings, however, I choose my spouse and friends, but irrespective of the relation, I value creating positive bonds the most.
I reckon, the most important aspect of creating a relationship is, acceptance. No two people are the same. We may get along better with one person than the other just because we feel that our wave lengths match, however, no two people are the same. Every person has a different perspective. Differences in opinions need to be accepted and celebrated. After all, how else would you be aware of the 'other side of the coin'?
Positive relationship is a two sided effort. Both individuals need to make equal amount of efforts and not be self-centered and only think of being at the receiving end. Giving is also very important to keep a relationship from turning sour.
Admitting ones mistakes, being a good listener, willing to change, communicating, are other important aspects of creating a positive relationship.
