Truths We Often Forget About Relationship
Here are the 9 Relationship Truths We Often Forget
1. Most of
the time you get what you put in. – If you want love, give
love. If you want friends, be
friendly. If you’d like to feel
understood, try being more understanding.
It’s a simple practice that works.
2. You
shouldn’t have to fight for a spot in someone’s life. – Never
force someone to make a space in their life for you, because if they know your
worth, they will create one for you.
3. Heated
arguments are a waste of time. – The less time you spend
arguing with the people who hurt you, the more time you’ll have to love the
people who love you. And if you happen
to find yourself arguing with someone you love, don’t let your anger get the
best of you. Give yourself some time to
calm down and then gently discuss the situation.
4. There
is a purpose for everyone you meet. – Some people will test you,
some will use you, and some will teach you; but most importantly some will
bring out the best in you. Learn to see
and accept the differences between these people, and carry on accordingly.
5. All
successful relationships require some work. – They don’t just happen,
or maintain themselves. They exist and
thrive when the parties involved take the risk of sharing what it is that’s
going on in their minds and hearts. Open
communication and honesty is the key.
6. We all
change, and that’s okay. – Our needs change with time. When someone says, “You’ve changed,” it’s not
always a bad thing. Sometimes it just
means you stopped living your life their way.
Don’t apologize for it. Instead,
be open and sincere, explain how you feel, and keep doing what you know in your
heart is right.
7. You are
in full control of your own happiness. – If your relationship with
yourself isn’t working, don’t expect your other relationships to be any
different. Nobody else in this world can
make you happy. It’s something you have
to do on your own. And you have to
create your own happiness first before you can share it with someone else.
8.
Forgiving others helps YOU. – Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is
okay.” It is saying, “I’m not going to
let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.” Forgiveness is the answer. It doesn’t mean you’re erasing the past, or
forgetting what happened. It means you’re letting go of the resentment and
pain, and instead choosing to learn from the incident and move on with your
life.
9. You
can’t change people; they can only change themselves. –
Instead of trying to change others, give them your support and lead by example. If there’s a specific behavior someone you
love has that you’re hoping disappears over time, it probably won’t. If you really need them to change something,
be honest and put all the cards on the table so this person knows what you need
them to do.
