I heard this some years ago and it left an imprint on my heart and generated some guiding principles in my life. For instance;
PEOPLE ARE NOT TO BE COMPARED WITH THINGS.
HUMAN RESOURCES ARE THE GREATEST ASSETS OF ANY SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION.
Every human being with the exception of none cannot live alone.
People in my life Currently who are important to me

My husband is so supportive of my goals and missions in life. He available to listen when I get back from a busy day. He guides and offers help when things do not go the way we expect in the school. From the onset of the school, he supports us financially. provides accomodation for some of our staff and joins us in some of our visitation to families. I do not know what I would do without him. Thank you heartthrob, for all that you ve been, I hope that you can say this good about me,

One thing that can pose as a challenge to developing relationship is the threat of busy schedule. We get too busy that we forget to do the little things that matter. things like listening, giving assurances that we are there to support. We allow consistency to dwindle and die.
The special feature of these meaningful relationship include:
Ability to be available when needed.
Ability to listen.
Ability to be consistent.
Empathy.
Going the extra mile when it is not convenient.
My experiences with relationships make me understand that every one in any kind of partnership must constantly generate a sense of commitment and one must devote time above all else to grow the relationship.
I really enjoyed reading your relationship reflection. You said it best when you stated, The special feature of these meaningful relationship include:

these qualities and aspects sound like what I consider friends, and those are so hard to come about. You are also right when you said that sometimes making time could be a challenge. That is something that I am trying to better focus on,and make sure that I am always treating others the way I want to be treated.
