FHR #004 - Freedom Principle 3 of 5: Relationships

IN THIS EPISODE BRYCE COVERS:

Why relationships are important in life and work

Before you start to work on relationships with others you’ve got to look inside yourself

The difference between introverts and extroverts

The best books to help you work on your personal and work relationships

EPISODE DETAILS:

This episode covers relationships with humans, your relationship with spirituality will be covered in a later episode.

This episode also covers more than just romantic and personal relationships.

Relationships and understanding them is important because relationships are everywhere, for example when doing real estate there are so many relationships with all the different people in the process - pre sale and post sale.

We need to work on relationships if you want to be in the world as they’re a very important part of life.

We’re all born instinctively to need relationships although they can be very easy to take for granted, especially the one with our spouse.

Bryce and his wife went to a relationship retreat and he was surprised to find that they spent 80% time working on the relationship with themselves.

He learned that childhood will shape your relationships of the future - everyone has childhood experiences which shape our journey.

The things we project onto other people are usually things we don’t like about ourselves.

Self analysis is important and the relationship that needs the most work is the one with ourselves.

We need to work through our own stuff and dig deep, so that we can provide value to others.

Don’t compete against others, only compete against yourself.

Introverts and extroverts; Extroverts get their energy from working and interacting with other people, whereas introverts recharge from being alone.

You can’t fix people the same way you’d want to be fixed; you’ve got to treat them how they work rather than how you work. This is explained perfectly in the book ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’ by John Gray, that everyone has either masculine and feminine energy which creates different needs to be met.

The second recommended book is ‘His needs, her needs’ by Willard F. Jr. Harley which is a bit on the darker side and bit of a reality check talking about the worst cases that could happen.

The third recommended book is ‘The 5 Love Languages’ by Gary Chapman which is the key to finding out what people want.
