LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS

It seems long term relationships are far and few between. 

Long Term Relationships

During the course of a committed relationship, marriage or otherwise, there will be challenges.  The newness of a relationship only lasts so long and then wears off. The excitement begins to settle, and then the true “getting to know each other” actually begins. We become more comfortable in the relationship and our deeper personality traits now surface. This can be unsettling in some cases, and we can let little insignificant or large surprising traits irritate us.

We learn to adapt and accept our differences, or we can challenge and stress over these differences to the point that they may be deal breakers.

Some individuals will learn to adapt and are willing to make changes to themselves, while others may refuse to make any changes as they feel they should not have to change for someone else. 

In relationships, we cannot expect someone to change to suit us. We can only make changes ourselves, either in character, circumstance or attitude.

This can be where some relationships crumble while others gain momentum. At this point, due to acceptance some relationships actually become stronger as love, hard work and acceptance are the backbone of a relationship. There will always be times when the relationship experiences difficulties. The outside world influences everything it touches but if we recognize that the source of irritation is from outside the relationship, the bond can deepen.

For those individuals currently going through one of these phases, recognize that in most cases, a slight change of attitude can make a world of difference.  Acceptance, compassion and support for one another is essential. Most irritants are temporary. Remind yourself to review the circumstances and look at the influence of the events around you.  Illness, family, world situations, finances, worry, fear, anxiety and attitude must be taken into consideration.  These can have profound consequences on relationships. 

After reviewing outside circumstances, you likely will come to realize that your relationship is good but other parts of life may need some adjustments.

For those that are experiencing difficulties in their relationship and have been for some time, be sure to have clear communication. Seek counselling as a professional can offer advice that you may not have thought about. 

Long term relationships take hard work, perseverance, love and compassion. Do not let the stress of outside influences affect your relationships. Do the work needed. Your well-being and the well-being of your relationship is worth it!

SMILING FACES

Smiling Faces

Sometimes we have to use our intuition to understand what a smiling face represents.  Sometimes a smiling face is exactly what it appears - someone who is happy, happy to see you, showing they care and/or want to help.  Other times, a smiling face masks sadness or even worse.  Some can be conniving, scheming on how to pray on the innocent. They look for weaknesses, for those who are gullible or innocent, especially in children and the elderly. 

As we write this articles, we are not intending on producing fear in our readers. We simple want to ensure awareness.

Most people we meet are kind and considerate and want to help on some level or enjoy friendship and social exchanges. There are many kind souls who genuinely wish to help and there are a few that don’t expect anything in return.

Our message is to do your due diligence.  Do not take anything at face value. Confirm who is offering you anything particularly on-line, whether it be assistance, messages, information, etc.

Look around you. Look at the services that are offered to those in need generally manned by volunteers.  We live in a close community and have many resources at our disposal.  The general direction of our world is progressive although it may not look that way currently.  It is only the few that cause uprisings, don’t give a damn and put money and themselves first. Too many of us have become distant, untrusting and even vengeful. Don’t get caught up in all that you read and hear.

Standing up for your values. Allow yourself to care.  We need to survive and there is nothing wrong with being comfortable but our sole purpose is not to incur personal gain at any expense. We are living in a material world and learning the lessons that can only be taught under these conditions. 

Love, compassion and caring rise above all else. We must remind ourselves of this regularly. Let our smiling face be a true reflection of our inner self.

GET TO THE POINT

Get To The Point

Many of us choose a roundabout manner or we are vague when we are sharing challenging news, sharing a difference of opinion or following up on a difficult decision.  It is not always an easy task letting someone know something that you know will create emotional stress or something they do not want to hear.  We try to break it to them gently but have a difficult time saying it as it is, only because we are concerned about the outcome.

In the meantime, many awaiting difficult news truly want you to be honest and say it as it is. Some do not want to engage in challenging conversations or difficult situations but the time has come for this to come to the surface, and you do not have the right to hold back.  It’s uncomfortable but necessary.

Holding back or not being direct serves no purpose other than dragging out what needs to surface anyway.  If you are the bearer of bad news, don’t hold back. Share what needs to be said but you can say it with compassion and come from a caring place.

Get to the point by compassionately being clear and concise and do not leave anything that needs to be said to the imagination.
