What You Want. For many of us in relationships with others, we are focused on what we think they want from us and try to meet those desires with the hope that they will reciprocate. When they don’t, we are hurt and disillusioned. Our focus is misguided when we try to figure out what someone else wants. Relationships offer us the opportunity to grow by thinking about what we want from the relationship that will help us become better people and allow the other person to grow as well. It’s a paradigm shift from what we’ve been taught, but the payout in the quality of our relationships is worth it.
From where I sit, I examine the relationships that I have had, the ones that I have, and the ones that I want in the future and embrace the lessons that were learned, the gifts I’ve given and been given, and the new opportunities for growth.
