Your relationships are like an account, too
Whether you know it or not, you open and close accounts with people all the time. Keeping an account open is tied to how much trust you share. Some people you trust a lot, others a little, some not at all.

Trust defines the strength of relationships—the way you invest yourself in the lives of other people (and vice versa). Trust is good, but it is just a first step. Move past mere trust to seeing a whole person, one you dare to care about (and not just in a romantic way). As you do so, the degree of your interest in them increases. Bingo! You both (or all) receive an improved return on the time invested.

Binkles help to save energy—as well as making more of it. As toxic or stressful situations (or people) start consuming less of our life, there’s more to invest in activities that uplift. Read about your Credit Balance.
