You’ve heard it over and overr… “Relationships are tough”. “Love hurts”. “Love is blind”. Blah, blah, blah, blah blah… Open your eyes, human…
The first truth about human relationships is that we are all idiots, who even if given a Life GPS, if one existed,
couldn’t find our way through a day by ourselves. Well, maybe not all of us, but certainly I was one. We’ve learned NOT to use logic
constantly listen to loser friends and people we don’t even know
I even heard someone calling a radio station for advice! IDIOTS!
We feel the need to talk to anyone who will listen, especially if we will hear what we want to hear and let us place blame
away from ourselves and flood ourselves with sympathty as we drown in our own sorrow.
How pathetic is that?
Isn’t it time to stop being so self-centered and realize that, duh, it DOES take 2 to tango! Now there is a resource that I learned to help us.
My parents made the mold for strong relationships. When my Dad died at the age of 83 they were married for 56 years. Wow! 56 years
with the same partner. Think of it. That is TRUE success. By the way, as one of four children, I agree to the fact
our family is strong. They were not only successful in their relationship, but also great parents to the four of us.
Well as much as my parents made the mold, we broke it. Seventy-five percent of us divorced. Even in the US the average is only 50%!
I not only broke the mold, I totally
obliterated it. Why? This is why I am writing this to you. I’m one of the idiots who doesn’t know enough to learn about saving a relationship
and would rather find the fast way out, only to fail again. Yep, I’m in my fourth marraige. BUT, guess what? I AM NOT AN IDIOT ANYMORE!
Life is like business. Actually business is like life. Is that the same? You need Focus, Measurement of success, adfjustment
measure again and constantly hone your course. Both take work and attention and if left on their own will typically fail. For us stupid
humans it’s easier to rationalize failure than to achieve success. So how do we change that?
I can tell you about everything I learned, but by the time I finish, you will take 56 years. Besides I’m
the definition of failed relationships. What I will tell you is about a resource I came across The Magic of Making Up, I wish I had in my twenties. I wouldn’t have taken most of my life to learn.
