translated from Spanish: The relationships of our lives

One element with which a person’s quality of life is “measured” is that of personal relationships. To the extent that the relationships we have with others are good,
to that same extent we can consider it to be the degree of happiness we achieve. The relationships we form with our family members, with friends, with close people at work or other environments, counts for our well-being, for our happiness. Today that we live in the last days of a year that does not return, that is left behind, it is advisable to review how we are in this important area of our lives: how are our relationships? Maybe we need to stay away from certain people. It is worth asking: Is there anyone we need to talk to, even if what we have to tell him is uncomfortable? Is there anyone we’re avoiding because when we’re with him or her, it’s almost impossible for us to take care of ourselves? Do we need to apologize, or repair any damage? Is there anyone we need to get in touch with to show that we love him, or that we appreciate him, admire him, or just like his company? Or perhaps we have stopped communicating our gratitude to people who have given us their time, effort, or perhaps even their money, in a selfless way? A key point in sustaining strong, lasting and friendly relationships is the kind of communication we have with the other party. And we can certainly always learn to communicate better. I do not seek to make it another speech, I seek to give force to the written word so that when it reaches the eyes of the one who reads it, it communicates the true meaning with which they are being written. And for all the readers of this column, a 2020 that is characterized by joy and personal growth, reflected in the relationships of your life.
