Today I have decided to try something different. I thought that I would continue a conversation that I had with a friend earlier this week. We were discussing relationships and in the midst of the conversation I realized that I have grown as a Person. The discussion started off asking that age old question, What is the use? This lead to a 30 minute typing frenzy on my part talking about people of today. So I thought I would share some of that with you.
/>It is my stance that in today's society we have become lazy as a whole. We expect everything to come to us easily and we are afraid of any real work. I mean think about it 80 years ago we still had a lot of our families working on small farms trying to feed their large families. People getting up at the crack of dawn walking to work and lifting and heaving all day long. They knew what hard work was and they did it not because they wanted to but because they had to. I say all of that for one reason a relationship is like working a farm. You have to work at it everyday in order for it to be productive. It is not a thing that you can ignore and it will still return dividends. It is a hands on job which both have to work at. When there is a problem the family was out in the fields trying to fix it, and the same energy needs to be put into our relationships today. People are always saying there are other fish in the sea. But the truth is if you don't know how to reel the fish in and keep them in the boat it is all for not.
Today's wake up call is to go out and start cultivating your relationships.
