Being On The Same Page

Being On The Same Page

Ooooops, no sirrrrs, I'm NOT inciting domestic violence for our thread today, NOT AT ALL.  Instead, allow me to harp on this very old cliche: BEING ON THE SAME PAGE as this has been one of the most recurring ROOT CAUSE of arguments, conflicts, quarrels, squabbles, tiffs, and even crisis in life, WHETHER it's in our personal life, at work OR even in our commercial forays.  NOT so surprisingly, without complicating this thread, we DON'T even need to pick each other's brain to figure out the antidote to NOT being ON THE SAME PAGE📗📙📘

Much as we want to look the other way around WHEN we're NOT ON THE SAME PAGE with another party [he/she could be your bff/bestie, your boss, your partner/spouse, your business associate, your valued client, name it] BUT all these share that 'common denominator' of NOT being ON THE SAME PAGE.  And without being embroiled in semantics, let's 'drill and dice' things here.  Regardless of the perspective, more often, it boils down to that existing relationship between two parties.  And obviously, we yearn for that ideal relationship that is balanced and equitably fair WHERE no one seems to be 'short-changed'!@#$%?

To grab and grip the bull by its horn, let's incisively look into one-sided relationships as typically, it is characterized by one person or party investing more ENERGY + EFFORT into making the relationship work.  In that 'imbalanced' dynamic, one person puts in more TIME + EFFORT OR he ends up with less control.  You might ask, WHAT'S THE FUSS?  The problem with that one-sided relationship is that it can be draining and challenging to sustain over the long haul, contrasting it to healthy relationships characterized by mutuality in honesty, trust and commitment, all rolled into one✅✅✅

BUT let's qualify, though, that NOT all one-sided relationships mean one person is being taken advantage of BUT this situation often indicates a problem in communication OR compatibility between two people OR parties.  There's that probability that one partner may NOT feel as strongly about the relationship as the other OR maybe one party ISN'T sure exactly HOW they feel about it yet.  On the other hand, in a healthy and balanced relationship, one would know that he/she can depend on the other party/person WHERE both are ON THE SAME PAGE💧💧💧

Our takeaway:  Being ON THE SAME PAGE is NOT all about relationships, being imbalanced OR NOT.  What becomes an eye-opener here are the ramifications because one-sided relationships can come in various forms and shapes.  It might involve your partner/spouse OR even your boss OR business associate.  OR, it can also involve other interpersonal relationships including parents, friends, work colleagues.  Dude, BEING ON THE SAME PAGE is way above and beyond relationships, in fact💥💥💥
