This is a 6-part series title: Happy New Year Means a Happy New Me.

Episode 1 is title: Happy New Year Means a Happy New Me

Episode 3 is titled: Making the Most of your talent

Episode 4 is titled: Making the Most of your thoughts

I want you to know that people are an integral part of our journey towards destiny fulfillment and having a happy new year indeed. There is hardly anything we’ll do in life that will not involve people. As a matter of fact, people are involved in all the pivotal parts of our lives including our birth, learning to walk, talk, read, write, promotion at work and so on.

Everyone in our lives fall one of 4 categories – Coaches, Friends, Fans and Critics.

Coaches are God ordained authority figures in our lives – they are the people whose decisions directly impacts our lives. They see potential in us, they stretch us and also show us our blind spots. They are the balance between a pat on the back and a kick in the pants as the Americans will say it. They know to encourage us and when to scold us.

Friends: These are contemporaries and mates that are heading in the same direction towards destiny fulfillment.

Fans: They are people that have benefited from our life or what we currently do.

Critics: They are people who push us beyond our comfort zone, many times using the tool of hostility, with little to no concern for our feelings. They are the opposite of fans.

However, for the purpose of today’s discussion titled ‘Making the most of your relationship’; in order for you to have a happy New Year, you need to nurture your relationship with 3 of the 4 categories of people. They are your:

1. Coaches

2. Friends and

3. Fans

Relationships are like garden; if you pay attention to it and nurture it, you will enjoy it but if you ignore it, weeds will grow and after a while you wouldn’t want to do near it again.

Don’t forget that the quality of our life is directly proportional to the quality of our relationships

So that big question is how do I nurture the positive relationships in my life?

The answer this question, let me introduce to you what I call the ‘RULT’ principle of friendship – R-U-L-T, yes the word does no exist in the English dictionary but its’ simply the acronym for what I call the 4 legs of a relationship and they are:

1. Respect

2. Understanding

3. Love

4. Trust

In order to have a happy new year, you need to make the most of your relationships by nurturing the relationship. For you to nurture your relationships you need to understand the 4 legs of the relationship table. RESPECT, UNDERSTANDING, LOVE AND TRUST
