What is Relationship?

Relationship is not just about dating, courtship and marriage. Relationship is every thing around you....you and your siblings...you and your parents....you and the taxi driver.....you and friend....you and clothes...etc.

Relationship is all about how you handle and treat things and people. Do you have a good relationship with your shoes...? Do you take care of them? Do you have a relationship with your talent? When last did you upgrade your knowledge about your talent? Do you have relationship with your body? Do you easily notice any thing going wrong on or in your body?

Relationship is with things and people. How do you treat people and things around you? Is it with respect and understanding or you do what you like, say what you like or make decision without being considerate about the well-being of the things or people around you?

Its your responsibility to cultivate a healthy relationship with the things and people around you. You need people and people needs you. This is the will of God for you.
