LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS

It seems long term relationships are far and few between. 

 

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!

FLEXIBLE DEMEANOR

How do you present yourself to the public?

 

Do you project confidence?

 

Perhaps you are a gentle individual who does not like strife or aggression. Perhaps, on the opposite side of the coin, you come across as aggressive or a force to be reckoned with or perhaps you are somewhere in between.

 

We are not always who we project ourselves to be. Sometimes the way we project ourselves to the world is nothing like who we are inside but how we think we should be.

 

There are times when the gentle, passive individual needs to be assertive to get things moving. There are times when the more assertive individual needs to soften their approach to be heard.

 

If you know that the time is ripe for advancement, you may have to use a more assertive demeanor, but this can be uncomfortable. However, if the time has come and your more aggressive interaction has only alienated you or put things on hold, it might be time to step back and let someone else take a leading role or pursue a more gentle approach. 

 

Sometimes we must make a shift to our demeanor and project ourselves in a more appropriate manner, whatever that manner may be. This may go against your normal approach but be flexible and shift when needed.

 

Read the situation, know your audience and be flexible with your demeanor.

HOW PATIENCE & PERSEVERANCE LEAD TO GROWTH & EXPANSION

So, you have been working very hard to achieve your goals, but they are not working out the way you had hoped.

 

Perseverance and patience are hard lessons. You may feel things are moving too slow or not moving ahead at all.

 

Not only are you learning patience, but hopefully you are also learning how to be calm with this journey (this too can be challenging).

 

Being agitated or aggressive serves no productive purpose when events are not working the way you had hoped. It only stresses you, possibly hurts those around you and achieves nothing productive.

 

When we are frustrated, we must take a step back. Recognize the valuable lessons we are learning as everything happens for a reason and utilize these tools we have learned to use. You will find that although things move slower than you may have wanted, you do eventually reach your goals if they are realistic, you did your due diligence and put in the effort required.

 

Learning perseverance, patience, resilience and willpower and recognizing your own strengths may be the expansive results of your efforts. Know when to advance and stay focused.  Know when to be patient and when to address the issue head on.

 

You will learn much from each journey and goal.  You will be better equipped from the lessons learned. Growth and expansion along with valuable insight are often the side-shoots to these more challenging events and goals. Be a patient student and you will certainly gain from your experience.

PERSEVERANCE

Do you have tenacity to just keep going no matter what you face or do you lack determination and drive?

 

In reality, giving up on living is not an option if we want to live life.  We can and must learn each lesson that is in front of us. It does take determination, but we cannot allow the pressures of life to rob us of the right to live.

 

There are many events in life where we do not have a choice if we learn the lesson or not. Some events may not have a resolution (that fits into our idea of a positive outcome). We wage wars sometimes and the battles cannot be won. Resistance to change is futile. That is when we can adjust simply by changing our outlook on the change. Letting go is not giving up. There are times when letting go is the intelligent route to take. Holding on can create stress and disease and we generally hold on because of a mental concept we are also holding on to or we simply fear the unknown. Our mental attitude can be our own worst enemy.

 

Persistence and drive or allowing events to unfold are choices that we must make. Although the road ahead may seems bleak, we do not know what is on the other side of a life lesson. 

 

There are times when we seem to have to reach bottom and nothing more could possibly go wrong. We feel deflated and overwhelmed (but isn’t this when we stop resisting?). It is then that there seems to be a shift and we find the resolve to stand back up and subconsciously say, “I understand now”.

 

Persistence, determination, but also perseverance are invaluable. You are worth it! All things are temporary, but the tools obtained from the lessons learned are irreplaceable.

 

Recognize your strength, your resolve, your abilities, your value.
