can be assured they can count on me in the future.
A 75-year study by Harvard researchers, the longest
study on what makes us happy and have a good life, has
revealed that good relationships keep people healthier and
happier. 1 This may seem obvious, but we often forget its
importance. We take relationships for granted as if once we
make them, they will always be there. We also tend to invest
in the ‘right here, right now’ relationships at the peril of the
established ones, which is even more prevalent in the profes-
sional realm. We are so focussed on getting results that we do
not take the time to build and nurture relationships, forgetting
that such relationships enhance the quality of those results we
are chasing. I hope this tale from many cities convinces you
of the value of nurturing relationships when you don’t “need”
them, and inspires you to invest in your own trust work.
