Love

Unhappy in love? It's alway's our partner's fault. Ever hear anyone say "My Relationship is a mess and I'm the problem?"

Insensitivty, betrayal, abuse-- it's true that we human beings are capable of terrible behavior. And it hurts deeply to be mistreated by the person you expect to treat you best. But no one can take your peace or power unless you surrender it. No one's behavior makes you miserable for long unless you allow it too. It's not our lover's bad behavior that makes us crazy, but how we internalize and respond to it. It's time to awake from our fantasy; No one is perfect. We'll forever be disappointed in love if our emotions are tied to who we think our mate should be. But, the biggest mistake we make is in selecting our partners. Sometimes we accept as a lover a person we'd never have as a friend, or we don't recognize a divine-right partner whose packaging isn't bright and shiny; We forget that the gift is on the inside...
