Successful Relationships

I am sure you have heard the term “Tough Love”, and perhaps even had to apply it at one time or another. At the time of confrontation it may even seem beyond tough, but be encouraged, it does pay off.

Here’s a living example: (Names changed, but situation is real).
Some good friends of mine in Mexico whom I have known for probably 15 years or so have 2 sons. Both boys of course had the same opportunities, but as in many families, one was a little more rebellious than the other, actually quite a bit more rebellious.

Things became so difficult that one day the father stepped in and took some very drastic measures with the rebellious lad. He put him out of the home to fend for himself.

Your thoughts affect those around you. How?

Here’s the progression:

A Pleasant Work Experience

One thing is for sure, if our relationships with our work associates are pleasant, then our time at work is more pleasant and enjoyable. Let’s face it, many of us spend 30-40 hours and more a week at work.

How quickly that time can fly by when you can enjoy your work and have fun with your associates. But when there is tension, gossip, bickering and other negative attitudes surrounding you that can be another story.

By now you may be saying, yea I know it is much nicer to work with good relationships on the job but you just don’t know my boss, or if you could just see coworker “Joe Bloe” in action!
