Sometime We Need To Be Stripped Of Everything In Order To RebuildWritten by Heather J. Tait
Continued from page 1
When we focus on our true identity and nature of purpose, highs and lows become nonexistent. We can be stripped of everything and still stand tall. We can still maintain focus on our well being and love we have to offer in our hearts. We may even discover that our loss was actually a favor in disguise. Perhaps there was something else we needed to direct our attention towards. Maybe we needed to redirect our path in life. Or perhaps we were stripped of everything so that we were able to take a moment to pause for reflection. Capturing meaning behind actions that occur in life is not only essential for our own inner guidance, but also essential for our personal growth. Pay attention to actions and situations in your life. When you observe patterns, you will often find that you weren’t on your way down at all… you were on your way up.

Continued from page 1
Whatever your circumstance take time to assess your own involvements and choices with relationships. Do you always pick a controlling relationship? Or do you always pick a relationship where you are enabler? Are you respecting your own boundaries while you are in a relationship or are they being sacrificed? Are you always compromising your time and energy to please another? Or are you always compromising your morals or beliefs? Are you maintaining a balance with yourself and other activities? Or are you focusing so much on other person that you are not taking care of other obligations and priorities? All of these questions will help you identify quality of choices you are making when you are choosing relationships. Once you identify your pattern, you can no longer deny an unhealthy relationship. Awareness will make your own behavior and unhealthy relationship even more difficult to tolerate. Once you identify your patterns and bring it fourth into awareness, next process is change. Granted other party involved will not always agree or like change that you are going to make, but you have to take action for yourself. In long run you both will suffer if even one of you is unhappy. How can we avoid unhealthy relationships? By learning to love and care for ourselves regardless of whether or not someone is in our lives. Once we identify our own needs we can easily work with others feelings without interfering with our own. When we establish a relationship with ourselves, we no longer have to have ‘needy’ relationships. Instead we can re-teach ourselves to have ‘giving’ relationships. Follow your intuition. If something doesn’t feel right to you with a relationship then pay attention to those feelings. They are there for a reason. Some people can grow together inside their relationships and some may have to grow apart. The key is to look at ourselves and our relationships in their truest light. Know that each one of us is entitled to have a loving relationship or friendship. We are worthy of receiving love just as we are worthy of giving it. True partnership fills our cups with abundance, joy, and solidarity, a gift that multiplies within our hearts and our families’.
