Days of Healing, Days of Joy................Oct. 11th
"The easiest person to deceive is one's own self." .Edward Bulwer-Lytton
How much can we afford to lose? Of all the investments we might make, the most important and riskiest by far are in our personal relationships. Important because such investments put so many of our feelings, sense of self-worth, and serenity on the line. These invenstments are risky because the success of the relationship is so dependent on the other person's willingness and ability to play fair.
No matter how committed we are to making the relationship work, if our partners don't have or won't do what it takes, we are out of luck. A relationship simply cannot be healthier than both of the parties involved.
It isn't cold or calculating to consider well the implications and ramifications of an important investment. It is fulfilling a primary responsibility to ourselves, to our partners, and to our Higher Power.
