We live in the age of communication and it is easier now than ever to keep in touch and to connect. So why is it so hard to talk to\u00a0those who matter most?<\/h3>\n

We often fail to increase our ability or\u00a0willingness to communicate on a meaningful level. The reason we neglect maintaining meaningful\u00a0relationships with people who matter is\u00a0that they required our most rare resource: time!<\/p>\n

Relationships with other people thrive when you maintain them\u00a0otherwise they slowly fade away. If you want\u00a0twenty minutes of quality time with someone, schedule three or four hours and chances are that\u00a0somewhere in the middle of that time you will have your twenty minutes.<\/p>\n

Otherwise things get in the way: you are late, kids need you, you need to take a phone call, work or\u00a0the time you have is\u00a0consumed with administrative tasks and managing your life.\u00a0It sometimes feel as we equate being busy with being important.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not \u201ccrazy busy\u201d people will think something is wrong with you. But the truth is that we are busy! There is so much to do no one can even afford twenty minutes.\u00a0Over the years I have made many friendships, some that lasted the test of time but there are a lot of them that turned into\u00a0acquaintances simply as we could never find time to maintain them.<\/p>\n

In this busy age of communication there is a tendency for us to try to contain our\u00a0relationships on\u00a0Facebook instead of having that\u00a0\u2018old\u00a0fashioned\u2019 face-to-face contact. Technology has completely shifted the definition of friendship. With the click of a button, we can add a friend or leave a mark on their timeline.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fantastic to quickly reconnect with old friends, start new relationships with people around the world who share similar interests, and check on those friends who don’t live nearby, however it’s never the same as having a close friend you can turn to or be with.<\/p>\n

Scrolling the news feeds will give us a great insight of what your friends are up to but we should make it a priority to stay in touch in the real world, people around us, people who may not be physically around just now but who you can\u00a0call or visit and have a\u00a0mindful\u00a0conversation rather than just a\u00a0\u2018like\u2019 button.<\/p>\n

You\u2019 will get a lot more out of an in-person conversation than you will over text or social media comments. With time I realised that despite their importance, close friendships don\u2019t just happen. Instead of waiting for the other person to make a move or something dramatic to happen to bring us together, I need to nurture and invest in those people.<\/p>\n

It’s a process that requires time, effort, and a genuine interest in the other person.<\/p>\n
