The Stuff That Life Is Made Of

To master a relationship, you must first master who you are.  You must be able to take control of yourself and say "I can control my destiny!"  This is not an easy thing to do, but it is not impossible.  Everyone you meet has their own RBA with you.  You can never close an RBA, but you can ruin one.  That's not a fun thing to do.  You must constantly make deposits into each RBA to keep it running properly.  To make a good RBA, you must listen and accept people for who they are.  An RBA turns sour when you start to break promises and act arrogant towards others.  Be kind to others and your RBA's will shine.  A friend is a great thing to have.  A bunch of them is even better.  Make as many friends as you can, but always make sure you have rich RBA's to go along with those friendships.
