Ending a relationship is often one of the most emotionally challenging experiences we have as human beings.
Today I'm specifically thinking about business relationships, as I have a couple that no longer serve me as well as they used to, and that's what is dominating my thoughts.
But, I believe my list can be used in the context of personal relationships as well.
At the end of the day, we're all just people constantly bumping into each other on this long journey called life. We're not going to all get along, and we're not going to all be useful to one another, so when you find that's the case the best thing to do is to sever ties and move on.
It's difficult, but often necessary.
1. Just because a relationship is working today does not mean it will work tomorrow.
Times change, circumstances change, and while people often do not change, they certainly can. A relationship that works perfectly well today may not be a good match in the future, so it's alright to acknowledge this fact and end the relationship on good terms.
