Your relationship will have the BIGGEST impact on your life, so its a really good idea to know what you hope to gain from it.
Unlike work...
...you're clocked-in to your relationship 24/7.
Some people ditch their careers and change their life-long goals to keep their relationship together.
And that's Ok...
...but there's no way to tell if it will last or not.
Things happen.
People change.
Just like anything else, if part or all of a situation is out of your control, you can't guarantee it.
You have equal control, too.
But it doesn't matter what you do to make your partner happy, if your partner wants to go...
...there's nothing you can do about it.
You can convince your partner to stay, but realize that people are absent emotionally before they are gone physically.
Why make an effort keep someone around who would rather be somewhere else whether that's with someone different or alone?
It makes sense emotionally to do this...
...but not logically!
Your partner could end the relationship on any day.
And at any moment.
It takes the both of you to keep the relationship strong.
One of the biggest mistakes in relationships is that people assume that their partner will love the same.
Here's the truth: love doesn't have to be mutual (Not right away, anyway) for the relationship to work.
Everyone has different reasons for falling in love.
And everyone's timing for falling in love is also different.
Not a good idea...
Why?
I'm glad you asked.
The reason why its not a good idea to hope to fall in love or be together forever is because you could end up disappointed and heart broken.
Its risky to hope for something that is out of your control.
You can't control how someone feels about you. You can only show them what you expect them to show you.
If they don't?
You decide.
You hope for compatibility.
You can hope to be with someone that will help you grow.
You can hope for many things, but none of that really matters since they're all out of your control.
Sure ...you can have hope for these things, but hope wouldn't change the outcome.
"Michael, tell me! What do you hope for then?!"
HERE YOU GO:
Hope to gain strength to be strong on your own if your partner wasn't around, wasn't able or if you were single.
If you have the strength to be strong on your own, you should still make the effort to keep it strong because you're in love, you're treated right, and most importantly, your relationship is your place of peace.
Your partner may need you one day.
Be strong.
Hope for strength.
