HOW INTENTIONAL ARE YOU?
I had a long conversation with a friend today and we got to a junction of our conversation and something struck me while we spoke. I was the one that said it, and I feel I should write something about it.
As we grow older, we tend to get lonelier, and it is at this point we should get intentional with every of our relationship. I know people are subject to change, but the people we hold dear to our heart, how much are we willing to get intentional about them?
Trust me, I know you’re busy. I know you’ve got a lot of things to sort out. I know you need time for yourself, but you should not forget that you would get to a point where you definitely will need them. I hate it when you call me only when you need me. It doesn’t show that you really love or care about me.
I was saying earlier today, how will I have a friend and we will not talk for 3 days? How? It doesn’t make sense to me, but the truth is, that’s the reality I’m in right now. Everybody just wants to do their thing and reach out when they can.
Where is the place of sacrifice?
Where is the place of commitment?
Where is the place of genuine love?
Where is the place of loyalty?
Hmmm... I think we need to do better with our relationships. We need to get intentional about people we say we love, if not, we would lose them and watch our relationship with them die before our very eyes.
As the matter dey naw, e be like say na husband abi wife go sure pass. Real friendship is fading away.
If you’re my friend and I can’t comfortably call you everyday, trust me, something is wrong, and that’s how I feel.
My question to you is this, how intentional are you about your relationship with the people you say you truly love?
Inasmuch as I want this, I am willing to do it to others 10 times better, but who do I want to do it to and who’s willing to do same?
In as much as I’m willing to give it, I also want to receive. I want to feel loved and cared about. I want to know someone got my back. Being one sided doesn’t make it great. Let’s work together to make things work.
I’m ready to be intentional, are you?
