Relationships and Transformation
Life is not a stagnant thing; just look around in nature and you will see transformation, growth, and evolution are happening all around you. Your relationships are also in the process of constant growth and transformation and the more you can cultivate a trust in this natural growth process the easier it will be to embrace the ebbs and flows in your relationships. The outcome of your efforts will be amazing gifts of new insight and greater trust and intimacy.
Committed Relationships
Committed relationships require us to keep growing, and in the process we learn that intermittent growing pains are a natural part of life. Once we enter into a committed relationship (with a friend, a family member, or a lover) we will change in many subtle and not so subtle ways – because any deep relationship speeds up our personal growth.
Relationships and Conflict
When we practice new ways of working through conflicts and challenging relationship issues, over time we will see that paradoxically, conflicts approached in an atmosphere of care and respect actually bring us closer together.
Our Greatest Potential
Relationships are a precious and mysterious training ground. They stretch our boundaries as we are compelled to reach beyond our comfort zones in our quest to love unconditionally. Our greatest potential lies in our ability to hold a compassionate attitude toward both our self and others simultaneously, even in the midst of a distressing interaction.
In vibrant healthy relationships – freedom is the center and love is the circumference.
