Realize what you have before looking for what you don't...

One of the biggest mistake people make is overlooking what they already have. Often they don't realize what they have but chase what they don't. Its very important rather significant to discover more of what we already have. Sometimes, we miss out on a few things just because we get it without asking. That's tricky, nothing lasts forever. However, things and people last if you take care of the same, ignoring only reduces the lasting time line.

One of the key things is attention. Its very difficult to get someone's attention, sincere concern and care. Sometimes people get the same without asking, hence they don't realize the value for it and end up ignoring it or overlooking the same. It could happen to anyone and hence we should watch out and be aware so that we don't end up ignoring someone's care, attention and time just because it came to us without asking.

Said that it doesn't mean, we are obliged to stay on our toes. They key is to understand what the other person expects. If it's acknowledgment that makes a world of difference, then so be it. If it's making an extra effort, may be it's worth it, since it's easy to get materialistic things, but extremely difficult to get someone's feelings, care, attention and concern. The question we need to pose ourself is what is more significant to us and choose accordingly.

The Depth of a Relationship isn't proportional to the Length of Acquaintance

We often wonder how each relationship we share with different people around us is unique in their own way. Each one of them varies in terms of intensity to being comfortable in the relationship. We can't really compare them, yet we can identify those who matters to us most, so that we can differentiate them from the rest.

When you are in a relationship, the sense of capacity with respect to the situation or circumstances involved, gets identified, declared and decided. You also tend to set the expectations, the level of which is proportional to the amount of comfort the person shares in a relationship with us. Sometimes, you tend to pretend, tend to exaggerate and divert the focus. If you don't, then you set the right tone when it comes to consolidating the relationship. Its true that every relationship grows over time and only a few transforms into a beautiful and cherish able one depending on the circumstantial factors.

The true color of a relationship is identified by the quality of the same and its no way dependent on how long the person is acquainted with. Sometimes you find it easy to connect with a complete stranger since there is no reservation or questions to be answered for. If you come across someone whose attributes and reservations varies from us, yet they seems to be far more reachable and there for us, we tend to open our closely guarded world. That's how the human brain works across.

If we look around ourselves, very few are actually proper relationships, mostly are acquaintances. Hence the commitment expected from an acquaintance varies a lot. To be honest, it is limited to a set of people who irrespective of the length of the relationship they are in, tend to provide support, reliance and communication. It doesn't matter what we perceive or expect from a relationship, it's the dedication and care they shower that brings about a potential improvement and flourishes the relationship in question.

So we should work on improving the quality of the relationship and not the quantity. Mere increase on the time we know is pass & improvement in terms of maturity is of huge significance.
