I reckon a massive contributor to living a happy life comes from paying attention to relationships: establishing, nurturing and managing them effectively:
- In business or at work
- With those in authority (I’m looking at you, Kingston and Harrow councils, who’ve both fined me recently for petty motoring offences)
- With those who serve you in restaurants, hotels, launderettes, car washes, shops, pubs and so on
- In your personal life
Clearly, some relationships are more important and longer-lasting than others, and their effective management doesn’t have to mean killing them off or ignoring them completely, pretending they never existed.
But recognising and understanding them – such as a difficult relationship with a parent, for example – in order to accept and improve them where necessary is, I think, crucial to our happiness.
