 Where
do we get the idea that
if a relationship or a
marriage ends, we have
somehow failed?
The ending of a
relationship is
not a sign of personal
failure.
Actually it is a courageous step. It
takes courage to admit
when a relationship is
not working.
When
we are locked in a
relationship that is not
working, it can be very
painful.
We must
love
ourselves and our mates
enough not to want them
to stay in a situation
that is causing pain.
When we are
willing
to take personal
responsibility
and the necessary steps
to free ourselves from
the pain of a
relationship, we are
showing a willingness to
grow.
Looking
at things from this
perspective, how can we
consider ourselves
failures?
There
comes a time in
every
situation when difficult
decisions
must be made.
Making the decisions may
make us feel miserable;
not to make them is what
makes us miserable
failures.
