I have read this many times in my Jim Rohn books, newsletters, ezines, etc. and actually was blessed enough to see and meet Jim Rohn in person.
Cat - what does this mean to you? How can you or do you apply this in your life?
Parenting/Relationships. by Jim Rohn
One person caring about another represents life’s greatest value.
Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.
The greatest gift you can give to somebody is your own personal development.
I used to say, “If you will take care of me, I will take care of you.” Now I say, “I will take care of me for you if you will take care of you for me.”
The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy.
You cannot succeed by yourself. It’s hard to find a rich hermit.
There is no greater leadership challenge than parenting.
If you talk to your children, you can help them to keep their lives together. If you talk to them skillfully, you can help them to build future dreams.
Leadership is the great challenge of the 21st century in science, politics, education and industry. But the greatest challenge in leadership is parenting. We need to do more than just get our enterprises ready for the challenges of the 21st century. We also need to get our children ready for the challenges of the 21st century.

Family is always FIRST....even if it costs you...and it usually does!
Parenting can & does apply to: business associates...friends .... acquaintances.

I haven't had the pleasure of being a parent only a parent, I love step-kids to death, but I think the natural bond of parent and child is truly unexplainable(atleast for me). I learned at the age of 18 when I joined the military just how important relationships were. When I found I myself in an unfavorable environment I prayed with everything I had that the guy next to me wasn't mad at me for some reason. After getting out of the military and starting my current job it home again when I was standing in an ejection that has 6,000 lbs of thrust strapped to the bottom I prayed that my co-worker knows what he's doing. On the other I hand I also realized the in turn he prays that I know what I'm doing. At any point we both have to know what step the other person is on. Unfortunately in my career field 3/8's of an inch is the deciding factor in if i come home tomorrow night or not.
Through all that ranting the point I'm trying to get to is I've learned to take my relationships very seriously. I've learned to be honest, forthcoming, and responsible. People ask me questions, and I give them honest answers. This attitude is something that I plan on carrying with me into my fastlane.
please excuse, my cave man speaking in my post, I start my english class tomorrowi'm a step-parent
