Have your ever thought about connection between trust and risk. To have a great relationship you must take a risk...You must be vulnerable. As you are able to increase your capacity to risk you also increase your capacity to trust. As my attitudes and beliefs shifted I was able to embrace my fears, overcome my barriers and attract my soul mate. Annie believes in me and brings out best in me. We have been on this journey together for over 21 years. I would like to share with you a few of my insights that have enabled me to embrace this path of relationship. In a subsequent article I will share with you some of my insights as to what is necessary to deepen this journey.

We all want to be with someone who we think is special. Regardless of how special they are if they are not interested in you same way you are interested in them it will never work. Ask yourself if they love you in way you want to be loved? If they are self absorbed and self centered they probably won't be capable of loving you in way you want. I think most of us really know truth in beginning but we long so much for this special type of relationship that we overlook obvious.

Sometimes we start to think that perhaps there's something wrong with us so we give up on what we really want. We change our values and choose a partner that on some level we know isn't right one. We usually have a mental image or concept of kind of person we want to be with. If your partner does not fit that image your emotions and heart will be in conflict with your mind.

We all have dreams and goals. Honor them by asking yourself if you and your partner share same dream. If you have different dreams and a different vision it's going to be difficult for relationship to reach its fullest potential. Pay attention to clues. If you desire a long term relationship and pick a partner who hasn't had a relationship greater than six months, likelihood is that this new relationship won't last much longer. I know there are many books written on relationships. These are just some of my thoughts...I realize that a lot more can be said and in next letter I will focus on things you can do to enhance quality of your relationship and to deepen your connection. I hope my experiences and insights inspire possibility in your life Feel free to pass this letter on to those in your circle.
