Seeking Balance……
3 min readDec 24, 2020

An investment is an asset, or item acquired to generate income in the future. And the Relationship is where you make a profound commitment to investing your attention and energy in it.

Tangibly you can invest in Deposits, Mutual funds, Equity, Gold, and Property. There is a short-term, mid-term, and long-term investment. Financial experts suggest that never put all your money in one basket, so one should also invest in intangible items, called lifetime investment.

Financial investments bring returns through profits and dividends. We save money for our future, make deposits in bank accounts. The money we save is used to buy something bigger than we have in present or in some financial crises.

I always wondered what to we save in our relationship for a rainy day. Should we not have a bank account for our relations also? We can open an emotional bank account for emotional savings.

We can deposit one lovey every-time our partner, friend, or sibling makes us smile or give us a surprise or do some small gesture to make us feel happy. Deposit one lovey every time you feel supported or someone has been thoughtful to you. Imagine if we keep depositing this in an emotional bank account and save it for the future.

We often come across a situation when there is some misunderstanding between you and your loved one; when your loved one is having a hard time and not be able to be with you, or unintentionally say something hurtful. Now, this is a rainy day in a relationship, so instead of being cross to them, you withdraw one of the loveys from that bank account.

Instead of going radio silent on each other and showcasing how much ego you have, you remember that sweet and loving words they told you, some thoughtful gesture they did to make you smile or just comfortable.

And don’t forget to give your loved one’s chance to deposit loveys in your name. Because someday you can be on the other side and will need them to withdraw that lovey and support you. Keep loving them, doing small and nice gestures, surprising them to see that million-dollar smile.

Every time someone makes you smile, deposit a lovey and every time you make some smile — one gets deposited in your name. Imagine how rich you will be.

The year 2020 has been pretty hard on almost every-one on the earth. People have realized the worth of their health and wealth.

COVID-19 (the best teacher of the year) proved that everything around us is just temporary. It taught us that in the end, it’s your own family that keeps you safe. And of-course that money you saved for this kind of day.

Everyone is excited to bid goodbye to the year 2020 and welcome 2021. I wish everyone an abundance of health and immunity. This coming year let us invest in Mind, body, experiences, surroundings, health, and relationships.

Emotional savings serve as a cushion when time gets rough — John Gottman
