A relationship are sometimes very difficult to figure out. Sometimes that are stressful, controversial, confrontational and very difficult. Other times they can be refreshing, stress free, delightful and inspirational. Our ability to build healthy patterns early on in our relationship often establishes a solid foundation. People often need different things from their relationship. I do not have any family or not many friends in the area where I live so must of my relationships in person are work related in some capacity. At work I have many different type of relationships, some positive and some negative. I especially treasure my relationship with the players on my Girls basketball team. Each young lady is different with their totally different personalities and characteristics. Although I have a relationship with all of them, our relationship differs in the aspect of what they need. For some that do not have a strong family support at home I have the relationship of a parent. To others that does have a strong parental support, we have the relationship of their coach and mentor. All of the relationships I have with my team is very important to me. One thing that I have to remind myself is that I can not be judgmental in order to keep our communication bridge open and to continue to have a healthy relationship with my players and their family.It brings me joy that my team, listen, understands and communicates without hesitation.

Hi Elijah,
ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing to see a different circle of relationships and how you treasure the team so much. Where in my life family for me is the most important relationship, your relationship is with the team. I enjoyed your post.

Hi Elijah,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about the close relationships you have with your team and how you value everyone. I also love the statement you made about not being judgmental in order to keep your communication bridge open and to continue to have positive relationship.
I enjoyed reading your post and that's good you have a close relationship with the girls from your basketball team. I agree with you about having positive and negative relationships at work. I have a very positive relationship with my boss, she is my mentor and I have learned so many things from her as a mentor teacher, supervisor, and friend. I also have the negative relationship with other coworkers but I just focus on the positive and not paying attention to the negative from anyone. great post!!
