Toxic Relationships have a Negative Mindset. Rich Relationships have a Positive Mindset.
You want only Rich Relationships as members of your inner circle and you want to firewall Toxic Relationships from entering.
Forging Rich Relationships and avoiding Toxic Relationships is a science, or process. At the heart of that process is understanding the difference between Toxic Relationships and Rich Relationships.

About Thomas C. Corley
Thanks for the concise post, Thomas. Nowadays, I’ve been working on my personal relationships. I’m able to control the “Me-FIrst-You_Last” mindset, though I’m still working on patience and ability to calmly listen to others. 🙂 🙂 Looking forward to read more of your blogs.
