Any great relationship, whether romantic, friends, or associates, should be about giving as much as it is about taking. Too often,we forget that other people close to us have just as many needs, desires, and troubles as we do. Yet we can chew their ears off with talk about ourselves without so much as asking them about things that are truly important to them. And then, actually listening to what they have to say and responding with genuine interest and concern.
Next time you make call, send a message, or extend an invitation to someone special in your life, ask yourself this question: What benefit is he or she going to get out of this?
