Even More on What Makes an Amazing Relationship
An adaptation of one of my favorite quotes:
“LOVE is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain.”- JM/me
Other versions of these words that I would relate to “amazing” relationships:
“Full spectrum living”- hot/cold, light/dark, rest/motion, happy/sad, Opposite extremes are a necessary part of human living. The bad makes the good feel that much better. All of it is what makes life “amazing.”
50/50- Not everything is supposed to be good, even in loving relationships. Of course you will disagree, fight... and you will have the most amazing and beautiful moments. Depression, illness, deaths of loved ones, kids with ADHD, leaky roofs, residency, and who knows what else happens. You all know your own stories. I hear from so many of you “all the things” that “of course” have happened.
Relationships are a journey- sometimes they are twisted, sometimes you are lost, sometimes you are walking hand in hand, sometimes you are celebrating.
“Ride the wave of adventure” - sometimes it is a tidal wave, sometimes the surfing is awesome....learn to surf!
Even the most amazing relationships are not easy..
Harvard says the quality of our relationships are the most important factor contributing to our health and happiness (according to their 75 year study....)
Coaching helped me learn to “dance in the rain” and show up with compassion, positivity, intention, and love ---even with storms all around. A spouse with depression, 3 teenagers, being a doctor mom physician leader, ADHD, deaths in the family and ....
Storms are all around all of us all the time. Inside our homes, outside our homes.... The presence of storms has never been more clear than now.
A managed mind allows me to show up for it all in a whole new way. A way that allows “dancing in the rain” and makes my life and my relationships even more “amazing.”
Investing in myself was, and is, a great investment. Unparalleled ROI.
Divorce, discontent, and unhappiness are extremely costly.
“Amazing” takes energy and investment.
We all need help to create our own “amazing.” I did. And now I am here to help.
