Putting A Priority To Our Relationships
Monday, March 30, 2009

Everyone wants to achieve satisfaction and happiness in their lives. Most of the time, we tend to look for it, in the wrong places. We get ourselves too busy working so hard to make a living, and to buy more things so we could be happy. We thought that the next new car, bigger house, high salary, new clothes could give us real joy. And while, we may achieve some degree of happiness, as what we call as "instant gratification" of our desires, this will not last long.
Nowadays, people are getting busier than ever before, yet contentment is far from our reach.
We don't have time to stop by, have a chitchat with a friend anymore, because we need to hurry to the next appointment and next project.
Yes, we are missing something great by this. Our relationships are most of the time compromised because of our business. We tend to spend less time with our families, with our spouses and children, because we need to tend to something else. We give them their material needs, yet we fail to fill up their emotional tank with our love and concern. We just have no time to stop, and appreciate the great relationships that we have.
Yet, relationships are like flowers. If you take care of it and water it everyday, it will bloom. But if you neglect it, it will wither. As they say, it takes years to find great friendships and relationships, but it only take a second to destroy it.
In these difficult times, the best investment is not found in building assets and money or any material possession. It is found in investing our attention and time in building the best relationships that we can have from our family members, friends, relatives and the members of our Christ's community. And the best investment of all, is our relationship with God.
With this documentary, I am going to be in a journey of love and discovery. A discovery of myself, learning to love myself first, and building relationships that could help fulfill my life.
We're all in this together.
