i am never one who is good at building relationships nor maintaining or keeping one. one characteristic pa naman ito ng isang good networker. looking back, this is one of the things i've learned when i was young. never get too attached to anybody.
my parents broke up when i was 6 years old. although the past should not define us, i'm still finding it hard to establish ties. once umalis na ang tao for whatever reasons, wala na akong makitang reason to keep up with them. nag iiba ang buhay natin. iba na ang buhay nila. ano pa ang common grounds namin? kaya its always a sad occasion when someone leaves. because it means that is the end of the road for us.
and now, i'm into network marketing, in one blog shared by my upline, building relationships is not only necessary but a must when one wants to succeed in this business. for one, network marketing is about building relationships - knowing and understanding other people's needs and wants. from this understanding comes the ability to help them.
one thing siguro that would help me is not making myself the issue. lumayo man ang friends, hindi dapat malungkot kasi hindi naman sila umalis dahil ayaw nila sa akin. circumstances made them leave not because i made them. not because i'm inadequate to make them stay. so why should that hurt me? everybody needs to find their own place in the sun. ako nga ayoko ng natatali sa isang lugar or isang situation. not because i do not want that situation, but because there are other things i want to do. but at the end of the day, i still long to go home to what is familiar to find rest.
and so i resolve to resolve my issues on building, keeping and maintaining relationships. not because i need them for my business, but because i'm genuinely concerned about them and have their best interest at heart.
