Your Building Blocks for a Great Relationship
All participants in any relationship need to look out for everyone’s well-being for it to be healthy. Whether dating or familial, friendships or friend groups, a reasonably selfless club is a happy one.
Sometimes, though, it’s normal for the relationship to focus more on one person, like if they need help. While normal focus shifts happen, everyone should get the care and attention they need from a meaningfully balanced bond.
Communication With Trust Is True Freedom
Building trust and nurturing relationships means understanding each other well enough that you can believe what they tell you comes from their heart. Though, don’t accept the “realist” who talks down to you —mutual respect for each other’s emotional health is a must.
Small talk can help you nurture baseline trust as you get into the nitty-gritty of interpersonal connections. Tuning to each other’s relational waves can open up discussions on more difficult topics, even if you disagree on some principles.
Vulnerability can be difficult, but you can set personal boundaries with different levels of relationships.
Have Spirit: Let In and Let Go
When you draw a line, the others should respect it. However, accidents can happen, and you’ll need to maintain a spirit of forgiveness in those cases.
Still, what do you do if the other person doesn’t put in the same effort? Do they constantly make you uncomfortable or fail to show mutual respect?
Well, you’ve tried letting them in. Now, it's time to try letting them go.
Don’t let your empathy or fear of their absence keep you chained to a relationship that no longer serves you. You need a healing and healthy relationship with yourself, including respecting your own boundaries.

The G.R.I.P. Method
G.R.I.P. stands for "Greatness Requires Intention & Purpose." People who have followed this method can attest to the veracity of the title. This strategy helps people identify their goals and execute them with clear intentions through planning, purpose, and integrity.
It is a roadmap that guides you through struggles and hardships, with the final destination being the life you want to lead or the changes you wish to make. The G.R.I.P. Method offers a plan to go from fear to freedom and helps you break away from where past attempts did not work.
