Leadership Talk
March 2007
Each month we examine one
word. It may be a verb, noun or adjective. The point is to
invite you to ponder the ways in which you communicate with
yourself and others when you use this word.
Word
of the Month
“RELATIONSHIP”
You are in “relationship” with anyone or anything
with which you interact. Even if you don’t care much
about whatever or whoever it is, let’s say the lady
at the dry cleaners or the carpet on your floor, you’re
still in a relationship with them. You’re in a relationship
with everything. It’s just that most of us
don’t recognize that fact. We think relationships involve
other people. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t.
For example: What’s your relationship with money, or
authority figures, or mechanical objects? (If you think to
yourself as you approach the computer, “I hope it doesn’t
freeze up on me,” it probably will.)
You’re in a relationship with everything in the world
around you. It’s helpful to figure out what kind of
relationship you want and then think (and feel) your way towards
that desire – what you do want – rather
than running away from what you don’t want.
You determine the quality of all your relationships
(with everything!)
