Surely much of what makes life worth living comes down to our feelings of well being – our happiness and sense of fulfillment. Good quality relationships are the strongest source of such feelings.

Good relationships nourish us and support our health. While toxic relationships can poison us. And our success and happiness on the job, in our marriage and families, even our ability to live in peace depend crucially on our quality of relationships.

To live more richly we need to get better in building and nurturing relationships – in ourselves &  in others?  Expand our ability to look beyond our narrow self-interest to the best interest of others. Learn to deal better with those who lack this capability?

In the workplace, the best leaders build strong social networks and rich communities of teammates, suppliers and customers that help them get to where they're going (while they, in turn, reciprocate)

Life is indeed about relationships. Find ways to connect. With the people you work with. With the loved ones you live with. And with the strangers you share this journey called  life with.  

You'll not only attract more professional success. You'll feel more personally significant.

Let me know your thoughts on the importance of relationships and how we can get better at building them ?
