Notice that I did not say you needed to have a perfect relationship with people.  I did say maybe you could have a “better” relationship.

Just list one person listed above that you would like to “improve your relationship” with.  This is not hard to do. Building relationships is what improving the world is all about, one person at a time, and it all begins with Us! It is a great feeling to know that we all play an important role in making this world a better place to live.  Let’s not focus on all the other stuff, such as why the relationship is distance, or what you think that person did to you that was unkind. Just focus on reaching out to think and saying, “Hi, I am just following up to see how you are doing”. Don’t be surprise if that person says to you, “I was just thinking about you the other day”. Well, that is the open door for you to reach out and invite them to coffee, tea, lunch, dinner, party, etc.  Keep a daily journal on how that relationship develops.

People we know and care about needs us in their lives just as much as we need them in ours.  So, that is why I am suggesting that you be the bigger person and reach out to them. Most of the time, depending on your ability to keep it on the positive, people will not even bring up any negative past if you don’t.  They are just so happy that you reached out to them.  You become their Guardian Angel.  Don’t be alarmed if you reach out, and that person is not receptive to you. That’s Okay! Just go back to your list, and see if you can improve on another relationship.

The key to this strategy is that when we built those relationships with people in a positive way, it improves our own lives in ways that we had no idea. Our lives are more fulfilled when we share them with those special people in past, present and future acquaintances. This may be a challenging task for you, and a bit uncomfortable, but if you really want to mend that 5, 10, 15 or maybe even 20 year relationship, you will need to put your pride aside, and make the first move.
