How do you know where do you really stand with someone?
You have family members, friends and colleagues, all of whom you consider "close" for one reason or another.
But how "close" are they, really? How can you measure this kind of closeness?
It can't be how often you see someone. You see your coworkers almost every day, but how many of them would drop everything at a moment's notice to help you in a crisis?
Even among your friends and family - how many of them would do that?
That's my method for measuring closeness - ask someone a question that's pretty important to you and observe their response.
For instance, say we're talking about your colleague. Tell him (or her) that it's very important to you that they complete a certain assignment or a bit of research.
Of course, if they don't do it at all, you know where you stand.
But if they do complete it - how long did it take? Did they start working on it ASAP? Did they put it behind a dozen other tasks they felt they "needed" to complete?
This is a way of gauging how close you actually are to that person's heart. How much of a priority you are.
The same goes for a loved one or a friend. Ask that person to do you a favor.
The favor itself doesn't have to be so significant or difficult. The key is to let that person know that it's important to you.
See how they respond.
Writing teachers will tell you that good writing is about "showing, not telling."
It's the same with relationships.
Anyone can tell you you're a close friend. Or that you're "tight." Or that you're "thick as thieves."
But how do they show it?
That's the best way of measuring closeness.
Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
