I went to see the film, ‘The Kings Speech’ yesterday and I was very moved by it.
It’s about the story of King George VI of Britain, ‘his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become King’. It’s a wonderful film and the relationship between the King and Lionel Logue is a joy to watch.
For me Life is all about relationships and the quality of those relationships affect the quality of my life. It’s so important to ‘invest’ in relationships; take time to nourish and nurture them, and ‘do the maintenance’.
Intimate relationships can be particularly challenging, but if we want them to be extraordinary, we need to be honest, empathetic, loving and listen more than we communicate.
Which relationship in your life could do with some nurturing?
Here is a clip of one of my favourite teachers, Eckhart Tolle. I must admit it took me a while to get used to his unusual style of delivery, but I’m so glad I did. Why not take a look…
Speak soon …..
I so admire Eckhart Tolle! This is wonderful! I have recently kicked off a call to action for parents to “Renew and Rebuild” their relationship with their children…and of course the key to any successful relationship is healthy communication. Problem being most equate communicating with talking and forget the listening part! “The first duty of love is to Listen!” Great job Julie!
