Having a Relationship With Yourself

A person very close to my heart ended a long term relationship this week. The reason was as always a complex one. Relationships always end for somewhat complicated reasons and when the dust settles you can usually look through the the rubble and get to the real reason.

In this case it was because in order to be in a successful relationship with another human being ....you have to be able to have a relationship with yourself. I was actually pretty impressed that this incredible woman was able to come to this realization at a fairly young age. I know many people who never come to this realization and go from one unfulfilled relationship to another.

This sure hasn't made it any easier to end the relationship for the time being...but if you think about it you will probably agree that it is better to know why a relationship ends. At least at that point you have a direction....something to work with.

To begin developing a healthy relationship with yourself will give you a much better chance of having successful, happy, fulfilling relationships with others in both your personal and business life.
