VALUE

RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS

by Kelvin Shobola

Hope we had a wonderful day?

We will be looking at how to relate with others such as our friendship with people, Jobs/Businesses, Relative and Single/Marriage life.

1. Friendship with people: The people we relate determines our value in the society which is why we have to be selective with the people we relate with and also tag those that are not adding to us in anyway as Hi-Friends or Just Friends and those that are asset to us as Must-Friends. It is easier to make friends faster from anywhere in the world with the advent of social media platforms so we have to be mindful of it because friends can either make you or bring us down.

2. Jobs/Businesses: Let's place value on our job or business because what we don't value will be devalued by the people around us. If we are working in an organisation that is not paying well with myriads of bills to settle, lets not be discouraged by leaving the job because if we stay diligent in that position, God will surprise us which is why it is written that if we are diligent with little things, he will uplift us to bigger things. How appreciative are we for that business that has been given to us which we fail to value because of the poor Return On Investment (ROI). The funniest part is that there are some people that are seriously praying and fasting for half of the investment you possess so lets change our perception. The reason why the business is not bringing forth the anticipated profit might be from our end so lets use the inward to relate well with the outward.

3. Relatives: We should be careful because most relatives are self-centered (take it or leave it) and will want us to straighten their backs not minding that our backs too are bent like theirs. Let learn to say "NO" if not, we will be taken as a fool. I am not saying we shouldn't help our relatives, i am only saying we should apply wisdom with a clear understanding of our engagements.

4. Single/Marriage life: It is sweet to be married but sweeter to be single because as a single person, there is time for personal development unlike when we are married that lots of issues starts evolving without time for one's self. Let's to allow others to push us to make the wrong decision in terms of marriage for the fact that you are 30 years as a woman does not mean that you have to say Yes to anyone that comes your way, have a Flexible standard so that anyone that will be approaching you will see your value and appreciate you. As a guy, control yourself not to fall victim of liability ladies that are out there, have a Flexible standard (the reason for the use of flexible standard is because some of us have rigid standard which is the reason why people are not approaching us). The truth is "Love is not Blind" because ladies or guys don't come to you for a serious relationship without having a reason to so it is not blind in anyway. Another thing is as a guy stop looking for a lady that is "ready-made" because the lady (if you meet one) will always see you as an opportunist except you have something to offer that is beneficial to her. Lastly, Marriage is a life time commitment to someone so let's stay faithful and stop listening to advises from friends that are not married and know nothing about marriage. The truth is if we are not careful, they would steal the joy of our marriage and it will be devalued by everyone.

In everything we do, lets think right and act right.
