If you are lucky, you are born into a family and
nurtured . The nurture you receive from your family provides a foundation upon
which you build your life. There is a general notion that you are indebted to
your family for life do you agree with this ? or do you think it works both ways? The
relationships within the family can be complex . Like friendship it is tested
over time. Sometimes the tests help forge stronger bonds and at other times
they result in a breakdown.
Friendships are forged for different reasons and under
varied circumstances. In time, the nature
of a friendship becomes evident and some
friends become family. The truth is, in a friendship one is always more committed
than the other. Just as with the family there is a patriarch or matriarch who
keeps it all together. What is your role in your family and your friendships?
You need people to share life's experiences with. They
may be the family you are born into, go
on to form, or friendships you choose to establish . Hopefully these
relationships provide you with love, respect, security, loyalty and much more.
Do not take them for granted. At the same time, it is important to bear in mind that change is
the only constant in nature. Be
realistic in your expectations of others and always remember to count your blessings.
Cherish your human connections: relationships with
friends and family.
