Learning Daily While Expanding Your Mind

Study finds that those who are humble in spirit tend to have happier relationships.

  Humility helps you succeed in the business world, and you may have already heard all the ways it does.  Even though humble people tend to have happier and more fulfilling relationships, you may be surprised to know that humility can be advantageous in romantic relationships, too.  Continue reading to learn more.

 Go against the grain Sometimes

  It is usually fatal to a relationship to engage in finger-pointing.  If your significant other can’t deal with your excuses, that shows they are grown-up enough to be in a relationship with you in the first place.  It’s important to point out, however, that you shouldn’t be taking all the blame.  Keep it real.  Another thing to remember is that as the “bigger” person, it might be a good time to pause and think about how big of a benefit it is to be the “bigger” person.

Learn how to pay attention.

  You should tell your significant other how important they are to you.  Listening attentively to what the other person has to say is a significant part of your approach.  Try to put yourself in their shoes and listen to what they’re saying, even if it seems trivial to you.  Why?  It is crucial to them.  Observe, participate, question.  In other words, this means focusing completely on them while they are talking.

Be receptive to ideas

  Regardless of how much time you spend with a loved one, you’ll notice instances in which they share their thoughts about your habits, your personal style, or even something you’ve done.  Your reaction to these points is critical to whether or not the relationship survives.  These are the times when conflict is much easier to get drawn into.  What do you propose to do?  A humble person does not let their pride or feelings of inadequacy get in the way of assessing criticism. Is this accurate?  Can I get some clarification here?  Analyze what the other person has said before responding.  For being humble, you must be able to openly discuss this matter and even open yourself up to it.

Take a risk

  The humble don’t need to pretend in a relationship; they are genuine.  They are able to reveal themselves to their partner without the use of masks.  This is a very important detail.  What matters is whether or not you’re getting what you want: do you want someone to be in love with the idea of you, or do you want them to be in love with you?

Being humble ultimately enhances personal relationships.  This is where you’ll form deep connections and produce the most meaningful bonds.  Are you stuck on the ideas?  Always keep in mind that practice makes perfect.  If you’re ready to apologize as soon as you goof up, you’ll be fine for the long haul.
