I want you to think long and hard about the worse times in your life and the most amazing times of your life. Hasn’t it been because of your relationships? A heartbreak, a business deal, a vacation with family, a rejection from someone, being included in the group and praised, or being ostracized and talked about behind your back. Betrayal, envy, deceit, kindness, love, compassion. These are all from relationships with others, and even though there is a magnificent amount of pain, yes relationships are risky, especially if you haven’t studied comprehensively all of the dynamics of relationships and setting the value of yourself first. First impressions are key, and being able to follow up with people is extremely important. Keeping a newsletter, adding value to peoples lives, sending text messages that don’t necessarily warrant a response are also okay, sometimes you need to send a few of those before you ask a question, because if someone sees your question and doesn’t respond, a lot of times they won’t respond to further messages, and that definitely hurts people and causes pain
