Relationship Choices.
It is such a wonderful
thing to keep a relationship going and to keep it strong and above
all interesting.
Long term relationships are not all worth celebrating; some are just
not how they appear. This is not just marriage relationships, it is
all relationships that you encounter and have in your life. Those
long term friends, the relatives and of course the lovers are the
people that forge your life so you do have to chose well.
Some relationships are just so heavy, so dragging on your energy.
You allow them to pull you into places of spirit that are not good
for your soul.
People give away their spirit at times to another person; they walk
the path that the other soul walks in order to keep the peace and to
keep the relationship afloat, but for what reason. Then they hate
their lives and dislike that other soul, but they stay.
Life is for experience and for making your own decisions.
Even though we live together, work together or love another, we do
not have the same path to walk. Allowing your partner or friend the
choice to walk their own life path will give you such a lot of joy.
Imagine that you have two people bringing their dreams to the
situation.
When one person is the only decider to the hopes and dreams there is
always a lack of joy for the other party.
I see relationships of old age that have been so prickly for thirty
years, so filled with remorse and so filled with angst, but when
asked by a passing soul about their relationship they will be
pleased to announce that they have been together for so long.
Length of time is not a fantastic milestone, happiness and quality
time is the greatest gift. It is so much more joyful to spend one
year with a great experience than twenty years that you would rather
forget.
It is so strange to see people in such tight situations and such
unhappy situations filled with such bad memories when they do have a
choice.
This is the key, we all have choices, so if you chose to stay with a
relationship that is unfulfilling, if you chose to stay in a
relationship that is unhappy, it is because you are not willing to
sacrifice something for the better good of your life.
If you are not willing to sacrifice for change, then accept that you
will not sacrifice and make the best of your situation. Stop feeling
sorry for yourself because you know in your heart that you have
choices and you have made yours.
Remember your life is yours to live how you want, know what you want
to bring to yourself and then go about bringing it forward.
