Relationships

I realized this week how fragile relationships are - can be. 

the question i have is - what is the health of each of these relationships

I remember what Steven covey's book - 7 habits of highly effective people talked about - 

Emotional bank accounts. 

I think this concept becomes critical especially in today's context..

* how many of our relationships are in the red - dried up - no hope of recovery

how many of our relationships are  becoming bankrupt - some fundamental shifts can turn it around

how many of our relationships are in the pink of health - makes us feel good, authentic communication, honest, give and take etc etc

Most of us do a lot when we are new to a relationship - we make effort, try to communicate - try to remain 'active'. As one goes forward,  a lot of taking for granted happens..

Many times we start looking at whats not working in the person or relationship rather then whats good - whats making me happy - whats positive

I think we need to have a monthly account statement equivalent for our key relationship

Triggers that can make us take an action - make deposits, re engage or move on  ! ! 

After all its all about ' relationship banking' or was it ' banking relationships'
