Self-Evaluation First

I was told that relationships tend to seek their own level much as water seeks its own level. Can that possibly be true?

That sounds about right. Relationships do tend to form ‘at their own level.’ People tend to be attracted to those who are at similar levels of personal development, emotional intelligence, self-actualization, and morality. It can be helpful to periodically step back and evaluate yourself as a potential friend with as much objectivity as possible. The characteristics you value and exhibit in your own life, tend to be seen in the individuals you find attractive and who, in turn, find you attractive. Evaluate your close relationships. Not to ‘throw them away,’ per se. You only have room for quality time with a few close friends, however, and it is critical to select with care who you want as your Plus Four and family-of-choice. Evaluating relationships can be key to your health, happiness, longevity, and success. Imagine that you’re looking at yourself from the perspective of a third person who wants to be friends with you.
