The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 5)

Sacrifice in any relationship is an important characteristic or quality that one needs to imbibe to make it successful. Remember the one who only keeps himself or herself ahead without caring for the needs of the other in a relationship is the one who loses respect. Also, he or she is the one who can lead in the relationship with the head but is the loser when it comes to the heart. The one who gives up the ego to accommodate the needs of the other is the true winner in a relationship of love, which could be relationship involving any two people and in any type of relationship.

➤We are not necessarily talking about relationships between life partners, which some people think are the most difficult relationship to play. So, wherever it may be, the one who says I in every dealing is the loser at the level of the heart. That means he or she will lose the blessings of the other person, even though he or she may be smarter and more skilled than the other and the other person accepts that also. So respect is gained externally by the egoistic role player but love and respect are lost internally.

➤You must have heard some time ago that to fear is not to respect, which happens with egoistic people. Egoistic people are sometimes respected out of fear because they are more skilled in many ways and good at doing many things in the world and also good at making things work their way. But what they are lacking is humility and the way to win people’s hearts.

➤Remember, there have been people in the world who have been more successful because they were compassionate and sweet-natured. They are not necessarily the best at the ways of the world and being skilled and the best at achieving success on a materialistic level. Humble people are true leaders of people’s hearts and God helps them to achieve success, because of this quality that they possess.
