From:TheBahamasWeekly.com Relationships Matter - Cedric Beckles
Do relationships matter and are they
impacting? Unhealthy, dysfunctional relationships are stressful,
peace disrupters, sleep inhibitor, emotionally exhausting, physically
dangerous (abusive) and mentally disruptive, all of which contributes
to physical ailments. On the other hand, healthy, functional relationships
bring stability, joy, happiness, emotional and physical connection,
sense of wellbeing, enhance self-worth, and contentment just to
name a few.
Are you aware that persons who are sick and have healthy
significant relationships increase their chances of recovery?
Many of the maladjusted of society have lived or are living in an arena
of where unhealthy relationships are the order of the day. At
the end of every school term, the reality of the impact of relationships
manifests itself. Children grades are directly impacted
by the quality of the relationships in their homes. When parents get caught up in their personal issues which lead to fractured relationships in the home they must remember it is negatively impacting the child. Yet some of these parents have the audacity to punish the child for falling grades not realizing that their actions contributed to the results.
Relationships are important and impacting.
My experience has been that people have very little knowledge about
the dynamics of relationships, and that most people want change to occur
for their relationships to improve, but the change must come from the
other person.
How are your relationships impacting you?
I believe that relationships give a taste of heaven on earth, or
a taste of hell on earth.
