A measure used to determine the value and performance of an enterprise is ROI or Return on Investment. It is expressed as a percentage. If ROI is negative, then cessation of investment is considered wise, whilst positive percentage indicates that continued association is worth pursuing.
ROI’s purpose is to ensure benefit is seen and received from what is expended.
Sometimes people approach relationships similarly, wanting everything for something or EFS; a little is given, but a great deal expected in return. A relationship approached this way will always express as a negative unit. Not because of what is reciprocated, but because of the thinking and attitude brought to it. Persons who always look to get exactly the same return as that they put in, whatever the context, are constantly hungry and dissatisfied. The balance in relationships ebbs and flows, because they involve feelings rather than functions. Sometimes we give substantially to one relationship, but actually receive greatly from another.
So you don’t appear to get much from a particular source; still enjoy the relationship for what it is, without allowing yourself to be abused. Flip the script. Calculate the return your relationships receive from their investment in you.
