Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that’s beautiful.
Do not seek the because – in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
Ignite, my love. Ignite.
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.
Become genuinely interested in other people.
Becoming a good listener, you are able to connect with others on more levels and develop stronger, deeper relationships.
Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.
Integrity is important in building relationships and is the foundation upon which many other qualities for success, such as respect, dignity, and trust, are built.
Don’t look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it’s like giving them emotional oxygen.
Communication is to relationships what breath is to life.
The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.
Relationship is the mirror in which we see ourselves as we are. All life is a movement in relationship. There is no living thing on earth which is not related to something or other.
Keep saying hello to people. They will be the differentiator for you for the rest of your life.
Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.
The objective of Nonviolent Communication is not to change people and their behavior in order to get our way: it is to establish relationships based on honesty and empathy, which will eventually fulfill everyone’s needs.
Open, honest communication is the best foundation for any relationship, but remember that at the end of the day it’s not what you say or what you do, but how you make people feel that matters the most.
Your relationships will either make you or break you and there is no such thing as a neutral relationship. People either inspire you to greatness or pull you down in the gutter, it’s that simple. No one fails alone, and no one succeeds alone.
Relationships matter: the currency for systemic change was trust, and trust comes through forming healthy working relationships. People, not programs, change people.
