Nothing Exists In Isolation

Picture 17

Who is in your life?

What relationships do you have?

Do you understand your relationships?

Because if you don’t understand your relationships you don’t fully understand yourself.

Your interactions are your life; you define yourself through your relationships.

The people you chose to spend time with show what you think of yourself and your place in the world.

How you relate to others and how they relate to you, how those relationships nurture you,
whether those relationships have quality and purposefulness, can very much nurture your nature.

Nothing exists in isolation. Relationships are not separate from you, they are part of you.

Your relationships define you!

Your relationships will be what you make them.

If you are the kind of person who freely gives of your time and always shows consideration for others, your relationships will be generous and kind.

If you are the kind of person who takes your relationship for granted, neither giving nor expecting much in return, you will attract relationships who exhibit the same qualities.

Your relationships are the essence of your life experience. In relationships, like attracts like.

    Excellent thoughts Lolly. We all get from any relationship what we put in – even our relationship with ourselves. .”

    I appreciate your thoughts here! We are all mirrors for eachother, so everything we see others give back to us was somehow sent forward or at least allowed by us. You can tell much about how you are being with yourself by how others treat you. Thanks for this reflection and for being yourself!
