R.I.P in Rapport

If you have a rapport with someone, you can find "Respect", "Intention", and "Patience" in your trust relationship.  There are so many relationships everywhere in different styles and different degrees.  It doesn't matter if the relationship is just beginning or if it's over 30 years... Your comfort level has been allowed to flourish into a positive relationship with a particular person.  This is what I found as "R.I.P". 

First, any communication starts with mutual respect regardless of what or who you are.  If you find yourself judging a person in certain ways, such as how he dresses, what he values, or where he lives, etc., a rapport might be difficult to build.  Accepting is respecting.  It is okay to be different to your appearance or your opinion.  Next, if you would like to develop a positive relationship, your must be intentional.  Your intention is to want to feel good about each other by mutual respect.  So your approach must be friendly and kind with a smile.  Your body language is soft and open.  Your eyes are meeting with others.  Show your interest in what he does.  Acknowledgement opens anybody's heart easily.  Furthermore, don't wait for the accidental occasion (like hoping to see him at Costco).  If that person and the relationship with him is important for you, initiate to call, email, and make an appointment. Last, be patient when you disagree with that person.  Allow extra time and room to develop a rapport with someone.  If you are respectful and intentional for the purpose of the true relationship, it will come.  But it might take a longer time sometimes because personal experiences vary depends on each individuals. 

After all, patience pays off.  You will feel safe to open yourself up.  Positive relationships enrich your life.  I would love to be happy by connecting with many individuals, new and previous, close and distant, young and old, in 2013.
