Do you hear yourself constantly making excuses every time you think about staying or leaving? Rationalizations (TRASHtionalizations) keep you stuck and keep you from having a real relationship.
- Being with someone, anyone, is better than being alone.
- No it’s not!!! And anyone who says that is deathly afraid of being alone.
- Being with someone needs to ADD to your life. A lateral move won’t do either.
- Ask yourself, “Is my life better having this person in it?” “In this relationship, am I able to be the most that I can be?”
- Regardless of all the things a person may be good at – the question is: Are they good for you?
- If you are someone’s wife, then you need a husband, not just a good father for your children.
- Remember, kids grow up and leave.
- No it doesn’t, not if you stay awake and aware and continue to grow.
- When you look for the other person to provide the passion in a relationship, you are missing the boat. If you want passion, you must be passion.
- What is more interesting than a person who loves life and greets each day as a new beginning – that is passion, and everyone can feel it!
- I’m not happy, but I’ll just let some time pass and see what happens.
- Time doesn’t do anything but pass. It is a neutral backdrop on which we live our lives and has not inherent value other than to pass.
- Over time, things become more of what they already are. What’s good becomes better and what’s bad usually becomes worse.
- So…if you don’t like what you presently have, NOW is the time to make a change.
