One
of the greatest downfalls
in our relationships is banking on
the
potential of someone else.
We go to great lengths to understand
what
someone should do, could
do, has the ability to do but is not
doing.
Very often what we see
of the person
prevents us from seeing
that the
person is doing nothing.
Parents, friends and spouses have
lost
millions of dollars and valuable
time
saying, "I see the good in you."
We
usually want so much for our loved
ones that we forget to ask what they
want
for themselves. You
cannot want
more for someone than they
want for
themselves. If they
want it, it is up to them to go out
and get it;
you should not
have to drive
or take them to find it. Do
not be
concerned with what a person
could do; pay close attention,
listen
intently to what they are doing
and saying right now.
