I can only work on myself!

Every Tuesday in Malaysia, I do a session called 'Questions & Answers'. It is simply a forum for all new business builders to come with their questions and a facilitator will put all the questions on the board and I will answer them and if I am not in town, one of my senior leaders will continue the tradition.
Last Tuesday, one of the questions that caught my attention was, "how do i build closer relationship with my core leaders?"! Hmm.. what is the secret?
Interesting enough, the word 'relationship' has been in my head for last couple of days! I have come to realize it is easier to make money then to keep close relationships alive :)
Do the relationship rules and methods really work? Can one really have this perfect relationship with someone... or is there even such thing as a perfect relationship or to start with 'secret' to relationship?
Let me be very open with you... I am really bad at keeping a relationship alive! Made many mistakes... destroyed some... still struggling with some... but have seen some tremendous improvement lately in many different relationships!
So, I went back and really thought about it... how could one improve his relationship with his core leaders?
Today, I was talking to my better half and we were discussing how our relationship has evolved and how we are in a different phase now and etc...
Then it clicked! The only reason why my relationship with many people around me seem to be getting better it is because I am working harder on myself... that is the secret!
There is no way I can work on a relationship. I can only work on myself! Then I realized, that is what my better half and I have been doing. We have been setting small goals for ourselves and have been helping each other to keep ourselves on track and that has helped to grow our relationship without even realizing it!
Then I reflected on my relationship with my core leaders... yes, it is far better then it was ever before. And it is because I have continuously worked on myself! It is so right... I can only work on myself!
