Invest in others

Invest in others Our relationships are like a bank. We receive coins (positive interactions) and make withdrawals in the form of negative interactions. Deposits are the acts that bring happiness and joy to our lives, while withdrawals are the times when we feel sadness or discontent. Missing out on depositing positive interactions may lead us to feel resentment towards our partner or eventually end the relationship. It's important to take time out of our days to make new deposits in our bank. We can create new deposits by complimenting the other person, listening more than we talk, giving them space, and understanding their needs. Are you only taking withdrawals? Or are you only making deposits? Join this conversation and learn how you can positively invest in others.

Sometimes we take on new roles and responsibilities because we fear the opportunity will never present itself again. However, the reality is, if it is for us, there will be another season and it will come back to us again. The seasons of life will shape who you are. It’s easy to say verbally that you should not be fearful, but sometimes hard to live the saying. Finding balance in life is not easy. It takes practice, action, and awareness. “Relationships can be built only if you invest time in people” - Katie Kacvinsky Thank you for listening!
