The Relationship Journey - What We Learn

Relationship is a mirror - Why all of us resonate to the word "relationship" is that there is no better way to know your Self than through relationship. When we are with another person, the other person becomes our mirror - we see our reflection. The things we like become reflected back to us and the things we don't like come reflected back as well.

Don't look at the other person - The main reason relationships are so troublesome is because we forget what is really going on. When we are feeling unhappy in a relationship, we rarely accept responsibility for that unhappiness but rather project our feelings onto our partner, our boss, our parent, our friend. When we are unhappy, we think it is the fault of the other person. If only he would change, if only she would be different...then my life would be better. But someone else changing is just that - it has nothing to do with you and the choices you make.

Stop being a victim - Only when you are able to stop being a victim, re-claim your power and be brave enough to create the life you want, then finally, you have relationships that work. You have legs for walking toward and legs for walking away. Use them.

Journey of Self - discovery- So...you start one place and end up another. T.S. Eliot said, "It's ending up where you began but knowing the place for the first time." Each relationship gives you an opportunity to see your Self, to stop repeating self-sabotaging patterns, and refine the journey to Self-discovery. This is the human experience and we are all in this together. Through reaching out and trying to connect with another, we end up connecting with our Self, and find our way back home.
