In whatever relationship, whether with a great BEING, relatives, friends or "significant others", remember, "we don't just make a relationship LAST; we make it WORK". The importamce of communication, making and spending time with them come into the picture. Amidst the hectic and hassle scheds each of us may have, it just takes a few minutes of our time to at least communicate with our loved-ones and make them feel that they are remembered and are held important in our day-to-day battles. It gives a feeling of security that we don't just treat them as mere 'options' in our life, rather, treat them as 'priorities'. After all, they are the very reasons why we chose to live and face another great day.

If you don't anymore grow to be a better person with another person, then it's not worth it. If that someone distracts you, makes you lose control or focus with your priorities in life, BE CAREFUL! It's UNHEALTHY! A little sensitivity is a necessity. Never ever try to be someone else that you're not. Although insecurities linger once in a while, remind yourself that there is ONE great person who thinks you are SPECIAL and LOVABLE. If others can't accept that something SPECIAL and UNIQUE in you, it's not anymore your problem. Don't lament for unmet expectations of other people on you. They know less of you - they dont just know you.

The greatest gift you can give yourself, is to give back what you already have through an unselfish service for others. It is by learning how to give that we fulfill and realize our worth as beings. This service for others does not expect anything in return. It is done with pure intentions as one seeks himself or herself through such endeavors. A friend of mine told me, "when you give and it hurts, that's when you truly give". Giving your time (which is very precious) for others is a big step on giving a part of yourself to other people. While some do the expected, normal student tasks, finding your way out of what's usual makes it more noble. It gives more light to the four corners of the classroom.
