The relationship that brings Big rewards

by Jane Powell on February 4, 2012

“The easiest kind of relationship is with many; the hardest is with just one.”

Many of us feel less vulnerable when we’re with a group of people. No one’s looking at us closely and no one knows us intimately. It’s easy to hide our real nature along with our true feelings.

In truth, however, “easy” isn’t always best. When you open yourself up and share honest feelings one-on-one with someone, you stand to gain the rewards of a rich and lasting bond that could never be formed with a group.

Yes, one-on-one relationships are more work, but when you treasure these relationships and work to maintain them, the emotional rewards are priceless.

Often the hardest part to getting started is overcoming that overwhelmed feeling – the one that occupies  your mind when you contemplate all that you [...]

Why You Need to Accept Compliments

Thumbnail image for Why You Need to Accept Compliments

“Accept praise.” Sometimes the hardest thing to hear and to accept is a compliment. We tend to be guarded, possibly because we have been hurt by words in the past. We fight the urge to believe the praise; it simply can’t be true. The truth is compliments should be embraced and welcomed. They’re an intangible [...]

“People respect you as much as you respect yourself.” Ever wonder what it is about some women that commands respect? Is it the way they walk? Perhaps it’s the way they talk? Or maybe it is the way they dress? Some of this may be true, but the real secret to respect is having respect [...]

“Doubts a way to learn, not a way of life.” Millions of people have doubts every day. Nobody is immune. Instead of holding onto nagging doubts forever, use hesitations in a positive way. Employ doubts to propel you forward. When faced with doubt, ask yourself,  “Why do I have this feeling?” See it as a [...]

“A small change in your mind-set may make all the difference in the world.” Certain attitudes and beliefs mold a positive self-image. When you have a positive mind-set, you know perfection is not a requirement for success, that it’s better to deal with problems than ignore them, that setting your own standards is healthier than [...]

“Do you lack motivation?” Does it grow tougher to quit smoking, to start that diet, to workout, get projects done or follow through on goals and decisions? If so, it’s time to evaluate your self-motivation. Motivation through negative self-talk, like, “I am so fat, what’s the point in dieting,” “I have to do this whether [...]
