Every relationship rests on three legs: Accepting, Supporting and Challenging.
You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are.
On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs.
On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish.
Which one of these is the more difficult one for you?
practice on it and everything will fall in line...
People must be taken as they are...
Remember:
"Treasure your relationships, not your possessions."
"The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships."
"Today we are faced with the preeminent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships... the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world, at peace."
