Isn’t Life Ultimately About Relationships?
By Life-Musings.com | July 18, 2009
What have you been busy with lately?
Chasing your dream? Making money? Building the foundations of your career?
In recent months, I have been spending quite a bit of my time carving a new niche for myself. Taking a new career path, after all, usually entails a lot of hard work. Not just hard work, but hard, minimally renumerated work.
Then, by quite possibly sheer coincidence (or perhaps a timed reminder?), I have attended numerous social gatherings in the month of July. Mostly weddings of friends and family.
And, on those occasions, I have seen people whom I have not seen for years (some perhaps even for a decade or more), as well as caught up with them. For some, I have chatted with them at length, much more than I have ever spoken with them.
I am reminded that life is, ultimately, mainly about relationships. In my bid to chase careers, earnings and dreams, I have often forgetten this important reality.
Yes, we must work hard. Yes, we must also play hard. But don’t forget to relate hard, too. Invest in our relationships. At the end of the day, they are what bring great fulfilment to our lives.
