Relationship Advice for Trusting Change
Spring is really here where we live in Ohio! This is a photo of some of the colors that surround our new home. And what's really ironic is that Susie thought she was leaving the beauty of flowering trees when we moved from our previous home.
She thought that because she was moving to a large city and leaving our wooded lot in our small town, she would have to give up seeing nature's beauty in the way she had enjoyed for over 30 years.
Not so!
What she had mourned leaving was actually even more beautiful in our new location--and she learned a valuable lesson about trust.
She learned that beauty can be anywhere and she doesn't have to hold onto it to be able to enjoy it. When she let go of her grief of leaving and started looking forward to enjoying her new home and surroundings, she realized the true gifts she had stepped into. But she had to let go and allow herself to look forward to what she wanted.
What does this have to do with you and your relationships?
Most of us cling to what we have or what we had in the past and don't want to let go enough or make any changes that could make our relationships even greater. We want to stay safe in "what is" and don't want to reach for something more.
Just like Susie, you can reach for greater love and happiness in your relationships--and actually find it. You can take a step toward what you want and not cling to what was.
