R ~ E ~ L ~ A ~ T ~ E

I've been thinking about how I relate to people. Actually, I've been thinking alot about this and I thought well, let's just break down what relate/connects means to me.

I'm considered a very stand offish type person and it's hard at times for me to relate and connect. When I make a connection with someone and truly begin to connect, it normally has everything to do with respecting, encouraging, listening, advicing, trusting and empowering.
R ~ RESPECT
E ~ Encourage
L ~ Listen
A ~ Advice
T ~ Trust
E ~ Empower

People that we care about, we should relate and connect with them in ways that let them know they are important. Lyfe is too short not to connect and relate with friends and family.

Why don't you start today and take a moment to R~E~L~A~T~E with someone you care about today? If you have anything different, I would love to hear what the word means to you.
