taking responsibility for relationships

Today was a day of relationships. Working and interacting with people, co-workers, friends and family. Many relationships are just easy and others are work. I have some friendships that I work harder at and I have some friends who work harder at being my friend. I always feel guilty about those. Not that I don’t want to see them, its much like the squeaky wheel syndrome. The the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Driving around today, sitting at the lights was an old neighbor who at one time was a very good friend. I waved, honked, roll down my window, stuck my arm out and she didn’t look over. She was stealing a quiet moment in her car, but to everyone else at the light, I was a crazy red haired road raged maniac. I reflected back on the years and couldn’t remember how we drifted apart, no fight, no lack of respect, we were just busy with families. What really happened is that neither of us chose to take responsibility for the friendship. When I got into my writing space tonight I read my emails and came across this video. Just really sums up what we need to do to hold on to those we hold dear. Its called the 100/0 principle. Take 100% of the responsibility and expect nothing in return. I know a few people just spit their coffee out reading this, but have a look before you text me this morning. If what your trying doesn’t work, maybe you need to change strategies. Keep a open mind karma sisters.
