One of the most fulfilling parts of life is the relationships that you encounter with other people in every day life. A large part of our existence comes down to how we treat other people and how we share bonds and memories.
Whether somebody happens to be a close friend, a work colleague, an elder, or a partner our life always feels deeper in purpose when we connect with other people.
Each person has an innate desire to express love and to connect and create positive relationships in life.
The types of relationships we have in life will always be different depending upon the person and how we cultivate our bonds with others.
Remember, be kind to others, you may not know the heavy burden that other people may be carrying.
Every person has a unique way to sustain connections with others, whether its spending time on a walk with somebody, going together to watch a monthly cinema in the theater, building a fence together, or meeting for a weekly coffee and brunch.
There are specific ways that you can take steps in order to develop closer meaningful relationships if you feel like you are slipping up with people who matter most.
Here are some ways you can build and maintain more meaningful relationships:
- Strive to become more aware of other people’s good qualities. It doesn’t matter what the faults of others are, just become more aware of what they’re best at and focus on those qualities.
- Know that every person has unique abilities and talents even though some of their talents may still be undiscovered.
- Take time and make time to hear loved one’s struggle’s and challenges. Listen with your eye’s and heart.
- If you are dealing with an illness or personal struggle, join a support group and regularly talk to other people about challenges, dreams, fears, and hopes among other people who understand.
- Look at all the possible ways to help enrich other people’s lives and be a better friend to others.
- Write letters of appreciation to people who have helped you out when you needed their help.
- Meet other people in person, talk to others on the phone, and write letters to people in the mail. Give people hugs when you see them and give them a pat on the shoulder.
- Find different ways to share experience’s with other people who are meaningful to you. Go visit a new place or spend valuable time together.
- Give away copies of your favorite books to friends and family members that have had a positive impact on your life.
- Nurture the friendships that have lasted the longest and provide you with the most value.
- Learn from other people that are different than you. Greet those people with curiosity and show that you are true to yourself and grateful for your differences.
- Tell other people what you appreciate most about them and what traits you cherish the most.
- Spend time helping older neighbors and elders who need help with home tasks like cleaning, washing windows, shoveling snow, and painting.
- Make food with other people and share meals with others, especially with others who are in financial need or especially busy with their daily duties.

Those are just some ways to increase your substance and meaning with the various relationships that you encounter in your daily life. Remember that all relationships are not treated equally but you can always strive to do better and improve how you relate to others.
The happiness that you derive from your community and culture are in large part tied to how you treat the people around you.
