    Default Invest in relationships

    Here are some ideas and tips that will help you solve your problem in the initial stage itself.

    * Be clear about your personal values. It is only when you are not firm about your stand or your own values that conflicts begin. You have certain expectations and when the other person’s values conflict with yours, problems start to appear. It is better that you discuss your ideals and values with people who matter most to you. Form your opinion about the other person by asking relevant questions and by observing her actions and important decisions. This way, you will be aware of her values in life and can avoid unnecessary conflicts.

    * Become a good listener. Don’t keep talking about yourself and your achievements all the time. Listen to what the other person has to say. This is your way of showing respect and courtesy. Give of your time to people. In today’s busy world, time is precious and is valued most of all. Listen and you will get to know her really well as a person which is the basis for a strong relationship.
    * Be friendly and kind towards people. Smile. Nothing lights up one’s world more than a happy smile. Show warmth in your actions and always use kind words. Acknowledge the other person’s efforts and achievements. Praise where it is due. Your whole body language should reflect your kind attitude.

    * Try not to get into unnecessary arguments. When you get into such conflicts you are automatically endangering your relationship, leaving it open to resentments and ill feelings leading to an irretrievable situation. Conquer your ego and try to view the whole thing from another angle. Analyse everything properly – it will help to clear many issues. The other person too will be able to see it differently because of your attitude. Learn to forgive and forget. If in the course of things you realize that you have been at fault, don’t hesitate to admit your fault and to apologise.

    * Show your love and appreciation instead of waiting to see how you are treated. Give of yourself more than you take. The less you expect in return, the more worthy your attitude as you are contributing time and effort without expectations.

    * Never be demanding. If you want something done, ask in a pleasant manner without dropping oblique hints that no one can understand. It is better to communicate clearly and share your thoughts and feelings so that the other person can understand you. Communicate, communicate, communicate.

    * Always do what you say you will do. This will help build trust in the relationship. Never make empty promises that you have no intention of keeping – it will make people lose trust in you. By keeping your word, you are paving the way for people to listen to you when it matters, as a person of integrity who can be trusted.
