Weekly Relationship Tips<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you are on the right track, you\u2019ll get run over if you just sit there.<\/em>\u201d
\n~ Will Rogers<\/p>\n

Before this day ends I guarantee your partner will give you the opportunity to learn something about yourself.<\/p>\n

Relationships are an interesting and fascinating blend of events, processes, challenges and growth opportunities.\u00a0 Life is not about what your relationship partner is trying to teach you but what you are willing to learn about yourself as a result of sharing life with them.\u00a0 Relationships are\u00a0 a classroom. In a sense class begins the day we begin our new relationship and ends the day the relationship ends for whatever reason.\u00a0 There are no vacations, recesses and you never graduate from this relationship school.<\/p>\n

There is no final exam and there is no pass or fail.\u00a0 You can however repeat a grade again and again until you learn the necessary skills or attitudes that your teacher in this or any relationship class is trying to help you learn.<\/p>\n

Each of us is traveling through our very unique lives toward a variety of circumstances, events, people, and outcomes. \u00a0 We are bringing these outcomes and people into our lives both unconsciously and consciously.<\/p>\n

Some people are good students and learn the necessary lessons the first time they appear while\u00a0 others are stuck in the same old patterns, life dramas and situations because they fail to bring the learning back to themselves.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t quit school and you must complete each assignment before you get to move on to the next one.\u00a0 There are however a number of pop quizzes.\u00a0 Some people refuse to see the learning as theirs.\u00a0 They continuously point their fingers outward toward their partner or circumstances and blame them for their own issues, frustrations, stress, fears or challenges.<\/p>\n

Life is a neutral experience.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t care whether you are poor or wealthy, happy or unhappy, educated or ignorant, good looking or ugly, afraid or courageous, from Boston or Atlanta, are a Catholic or Jewish, single or married working or retired.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t have opinions.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t judge. It just is.<\/p>\n

Class is not about what comes into your life, but how you handle it that matters.\u00a0 Relationship success comes to many people.\u00a0 Some handle it well while others do not.\u00a0 Relationship adversity comes to all of us sooner or later.\u00a0 Some people give up while others use the struggle to get better, wiser or stronger.\u00a0 Everyone has problems in their relationships; with children, in-laws or spouses.<\/p>\n

The opportunity for personal growth or learning, can be found in each of life\u2019s experiences or teachers.\u00a0 The key to success and happiness is to learn to bring all of the learning back to yourself and not to point your finger or blame others or life, for the teachers you get.\u00a0 You and I don\u2019t get to choose all of the lessons in our lives or our relationships and we certainly don\u2019t get to choose how other people should learn their lessons. Each of us is on our own unique path through life into our future.<\/p>\n

One way to know if you have not yet learned one of life’s particular lessons is to observe that which is in your life now.\u00a0 For example if, you are having a particular relationship problem there is most likely a relationship lesson that you failed to learn in the past.<\/p>\n

The opening line in the all-time best selling book by Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled states, \u201cLife is difficult.\u201d\u00a0 Scott goes on to explain that life is only difficult for people who expect life to be easy.<\/p>\n

Are you learning your lessons well or are you in blame or denial?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
