Relationships ...



For most people, their relationship is the place of their greatest pleasures, and their deepest pains ... 

The secret of a relationship, is a relationship is a place you go to give, not a place you go to get ... 

As long as you go into a relationship trying to figure out what you can get out of it, then what you really have is a transaction, not a relationship ... 

When you start measuring how much you've given in a relationship, the relationships over ... You now have a transaction ... 

A relationship is about unlimited sharing and unlimited giving ... 

When a relationship is driven by rules and not by love, a relationship begins to die ... 

The more rules you have the more pain you have in a relationship, because you're always going to be in reaction if you see that one of the rules are being broken ... 

If we know the purpose of a relationship is to magnify, we should magnify only the good ... 

Everybody has the same needs ... 
The need for certainty ...
The feeling of being comfortable ... 
The feeling that we can avoid pain and gain pleasure ... 
We all have a need for variety ... 
For uncertainty ... 
For surprise ... 
For challenge ... 

This is what makes our lives exciting ... 

We all have a need to feel significant ... 
To feel important ... 
To feel unique ...
To feel special ...
To feel that we're needed ... 

Everybody has that need ...

Everybody has a need to connect and to feel loved ... 

The only difference is, that we don't all pursue these needs the same way ...
