TEN Things I Believe IN

First, the acknowledgement. Last week, I ran into Preeti Shenoy's  10 Day YOU Challenge. And though I did not take the challenge (since I know I am too lousy to write a post everyday for 10 days), it did get me thinking about some things.

And so, thanks to Preeti's blog, this post of mine got created.

I BELIEVE THAT: 

•  Most relationship issues can be solved by talking. Sincerity, willingness to talk, an hour or two of interrupted time and a cup of coffee (with unlimited refills) -- is all that u need to solve the most vexing of problems.
• Snapping a relationship is actually the easiest thing to do. Making a relationship survive against all the odds is the real challenge. I understand that sometimes, snapping is all that can be done. But even then, it should be the last option; and not the first.
• The small "big" moments make life worthwhile. The little things in life are what life is all about. Life is tough anyway.
• A little ego is actually good for an individual. Life's experiences have taught me that if u are too good; people trample you. They walk all over you. Having ego shows that if nobody else, atleast you will stand up for yourself.
• No matter what they do; family is family. Friendships, unfortunately, do die and wither. Blood relationships are always there. They might be tied by a very loose, weak string; but they can never be completely broken. Never.
• There are very few things in life that are worth fighting about. Which is why I am always open to a compromise. You win some, you lose some. Besides, there are always bigger fishes to fry.
• Listening is probably the best way to make others feel valued and important. Note that you need to listen; and not just hear.
• Anger is a huge relationship killer. Get a hold on your temper; and half the world will be in love with you.
• Touch is a hugely under rated (and probably under used) expression of emotion. Far more comforting, intimate and meaningful than that hugely over rated three letter word.
• On most occasions and with most folks; Out of sight is Out of mind. Harsh and sad, but true.
