We Need One Another.

In life, we need human relationships. No matter how terrible certain human behaviour can be, we still need one another. There is no denying the fact that humans are unpredictable, unreliable and sometimes behave in such a degrading manner, but then we still need one another. No one is perfect after all because we are all a work in progress.

Your association will determine how far you will go in life. When you walk on the shoulder of a giant, you won’t only see far, but you will go far and with limited human effort too. You need to surround yourself with value adders and those who look like it in the long run. When someone is taking more from you than he or she is adding, it is better to re-evaluate your steps and do better with another.

The truth is, we are not to write anyone off. We need not overlook the potential in people and write them off even before they get a chance. You will know those with potential just by what they have added in a short time in your life. If you cannot trace anything remarkable to your life from a particular relationship you have around you, then you are better off with that person. No matter how little, we need to feel the impact of someone around us.

Have you ever seen the smile of a little child? They ease off my worries and make me dream again. They make me go back to the time when I was growing up and I enjoy the rush of emotions and flashbacks. If they are not adding anything to you, they are taking more from you and they are making your life miserable, then it is time to cut the cords and let each person go their separate ways.

Just because someone is not adding much to you today, it doesn’t mean they won’t add more value to you tomorrow. The point is, they must add something to your life no matter how little it is. You will know who to cut off if they are fuelling your weakness or amplifying your strength.

You need to treat everyone the same. Often we view people through the way they dress and the way they speak. We feel because they dressed better and speak fluently that they have a higher possibility of being of help to us than someone who dresses simple and doesn’t speak so fluently. How wrong can you be! Don’t judge people by appearance and regardless of who they are or how they appear, make sure you are good to everyone. It should be your natural habit to show warmth and kindness to everyone even if they don’t look like they are going to be value adders to your life.

I watched a movie called "Lion Heart". It is a Nigerian movie produced and directed by Genevieve Nnaji that is still on Netflix. What a movie it is and I recommend those with a Netflix subscription to give it a go and watch it. One man saved another man from being swindled and just when his elder brother’s company was about to be bought over by another company, the same man he saved from being swindled was the same man he and his niece were looking for to help them with a merger, so their company won’t be bought over by another greedy businessman. That single act of kindness put him in a better position.

We need to honour all men. Respect begets respect and you won’t gain respect just because you are well placed or highly dressed. Approach and how you carry yourself matter too. When you seek to honour all men regardless of their state and status, respect will never be far from you. You will naturally attract those who will give you respect (law of attraction). You don’t know who is who and who you know me to be today won’t be who I will be tomorrow.

Seek to show respect to everyone you see no matter who they are. We should never belittle anyone or write them off. It is wrong to assume we have seen the best of someone when they are still living. In an instant things can change over time for them and you will be forced to be humble. Never write anyone off and show respect to everyone too.

We also need to show love to people. You can’t love those whom you don’t respect or desire to treat right. When you respect people, it is easier to love them, and when you love them it is easier to treat them well. Never think anyone is underserving of love and attention. We are not perfect.

We need to give people room to change and then, can love them. Make provisions for each other’s wrongs. Forgive people in advance because the truth is, people will always hurt us whether we like it or not and whether we expect it or not. We need to give allowances for these hurts so that we can develop the ability to love people even when they don’t deserve it.

We need one another. No man can make it out here all alone. We need to be better together so we can give our best to each other as we journey through life. We need people because some people are connectors, some are ladders and some are catalysts that will propel us to our desired height. We need to learn never to write anyone off, treat everyone right, forgive in advance and then love them regardless of the situation. It’s a big world and possibilities abound even through the most unlikely source.

Thank you for your time.
