On
a scale where one is low
and ten is high, we want
to live as close to ten
as possible. We
went to give and get the
best in our
relationships.
Whether it is a
friendship, love affair
or business
relationship, we must
not allow mediocrity to
be the standard.
When we have no
standards our lives
become so crowded with
people, demands and
unrealized expectations
that we run the risk of
losing ourselves.
An "eight" relationship
is one where there is
mutual support and
respect. We can be
who we are and know we
are accepted on that
basis. There are
common goals; even when
we disagree on method,
we can support the
intent. In an
"eight" relationship we
give for the joy of
giving. We share
for mutual growth.
We give and get complete
honesty. We take
what we need and do not
fail to give back.
An "eight" relationship
is one that we do not
work on. It is one
we work with and for,
striving for better as a
mutual benefit.
"One" means you are
definitely on the way to
the top.
