You have to have wood or something flammable to make a fire.
Kindling to ignite the flames.
Oxygen to feed it and allow it to burn.
And you’re going to have to tend to it constantly to make sure it burns strong and doesn’t burn out.
This also applies to reigniting a relationship.
Often life gets in the way of our interpersonal relationships and we think the flames are extinguished when they really need the ingredients to make them burn.
There are a lot of complicated ways to look at keeping meaningful relationships alive and then there is this.
Feed it.
Nurture it.
Give it room to breath.
Keep a watchful eye on it to make sure it never flames out.
Relationships take work. They don’t stay bright on their own without paying watchful attention to the needs of others and our own needs.
