    Sudha's Views on Relationships
    Dear Members,

    Having heard of high benefits of observing silence and keeping still, in my latest challenge to find meaning/purpose in my life, I have recently started observing silence on a daily basis. I sit in a quiet zone with eyes closed and basically observe my thoughts and breath going in/out.

    The title of the post posits the reader to respond to the question "Life is all about relationship, how we should deal with relationship to make our lives a fruitful one?"

    in response I have to say, that in my silent moments, I have come to realization that a relationship to oneself is the foundation of all other relationships. In order for us to serve humanity or build loving relationships with other humans, we must come close to our own selves and develop loving friendship to ourselves.

    I am considered a very kind, loving and sharing person by the external world, but I have to admit that I am not a good friend with my own self. I am very hard and unforgiving when I make mistakes. Often I am in tears because of my own mistakes even if the world has not noticed my mistakes.

    Now I am trying to change the focus from the external world to my own self-awareness and am trying to develop a close relationship with myself. As I become comfortable with myself I believe I will be in a more genuine position to give and share with others and have impacting relationships with others.

    what is your view?
    Sincerely
    Sudha

    Dear Sudha,

    Thank you for sharing with us your view on relationship. I agree with you that we need to develop good relationship with ourselves first, which means we need to understand ourselves.

    I agree it is all about relationship in the planet we are living now. I especially feel it is true after I became a new mother. I have to deal with the relationship with the new baby, my parents, my husband, my work colleagues, my friends.

    Doing meditation is a good way to constantly communicate with yourself, to further discover who you are and what you do.

    At last, I agree, we need to forgive ourselves too, don't play too hard on yourself, all the experience are beautiful for recording the foot print of your growth.

    Good luck on your job searching!

    Julia
