Why are relationships so hard to find as an adult?

Is it just me, or did it seem much easier when we were children?

Good, quality, beneficial, supportive relationships are just as important today as they were then.  You NEED them to grow and develop, both personally and professionally.

So we’ve got a challenge for you.  Are you willing to assess your life to be sure you are fostering more than one type of relationship?

✅  Supportive, yet challenging relationships - These are relationships where you feel emotionally supported, encouraged, and validated. But, in addition to providing a safe emotional space, you should be challenged to step out of your comfort zone and confront your beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors that can promote personal growth. Constructive criticism and differing perspectives can inspire self-improvement and broaden one's understanding of oneself and the world.

✅  Mentor-Mentee Relationships - Mentors provide guidance, wisdom, and expertise to help mentees navigate their personal and professional development. Through mentorship, you can gain valuable insights, learn from others' experiences, and acquire new skills that contribute to your personal growth and success.

✅  Collaborative Relationships - Collaborating with others on projects or goals can stimulate personal growth by fostering teamwork, creativity, and innovation. Working alongside individuals with diverse backgrounds, expertise, and perspectives can inspire you to expand your horizons, learn new approaches, and develop essential skills such as communication, problem-solving, and adaptability.
