Do you know we have made relationships seem so complicated? People are writing books. We have shows that are called “reality” which the correct name should be “Unrealistic TV”.
Relationships are real simple. If you wink, wave, shake hands or just walk past someone, you just had a relationship. Now these may be shallow relationships, but they are relationships. It is an interaction with another. It is that simple.
Now if you want to go deeper because this explanation is too simple, let’s take the word “relate” which is what a relationship is.
Tony Robbins teaches there are 6 human needs. Not wants, needs. We all have different priorities for the 6 needs and we have different ways about achieving the 6 needs. So if we all have the same 6 needs, then again, we are already related.
The reason people have relationship issues are; they spend too much time trying to prioritize other people’s needs for them. No one was born to please you. They are here to travel their own path.
As you watch them and get to know them, you get to “decide” if you want to continue to go down the same path as them. If you don’t agree with them and travel that path with them anyway, don’t blame anyone but yourself for having a frustrating life. You are always in control of your decisions and your emotions.
I know, “I can’t control my emotions”. Yes you can and by the way, “You do”, by the way you think. I am not going to cover emotions here because that is another conversation.
Quit making relationships complicated. Allow people to be themselves and then spend your time with the ones that are attending the same party you want to attend.
It ain’t right. It ain’t wrong. It’s just my opinion.

Powerful words Albert. Thanks again for your time and support.
All good blogs of value are worth "reviving". It is unfortunate that most blogs have the life span of a fly. Here today and gone tomorrow. Off to the history books that never get reopened or visited. And there are some amazing blogs that never see the light of day. How sad. Much like the present state of world affairs were few pay attention to the struggles of others. Where are the friends and good neighbors? GOD Bless ...
How are you Albert? Reviving is good lol I am excited to know it was of value to revive : ) Thanks for your words of encouragement
This world has lost touch with so many basic principles to life and living. Thanks Ron for your many posts that not only helps us to remember basic foundations but to remember GOD. I noticed I missed this post from long ago so I will revive! GOD Bless ...
Thanks to our of my peeps for your support - Carolyn Almennigen ( I will do a blog on the 6 human needs just for you my friend), Timothy Eller, Carolyn Coleman-Grady (how are you my friend), Ann Moses (I appreciate your words of encouragement), Stacie Walker (yeah, we seem to enjoy complicated for some reason - lol) and my man Ced Reynolds (great to see you sir)
You make some good points here Ron. Simply put, it's up to us if or not we want to have healthy relationships. Keeping is simple is the best way to go about it. Thanks for sharing. Continued success to you as you help others discover what they have on the inside.
Good post, Ron! I would also add that we need to fulfill our needs ourselves and not expect others to do it.
Nice!Posted to twitter
Thanks for writing this blog, Ron! You're right about us making things too complicated. I'm an engineer, so it's my specialty! :) I look forward to reading your upcoming posts. Please tell us about Tony's 6 needs. I'd like to learn more about that.
