12693701, Creating fulfilling relationships

One thing I learned over the years is that you will never find anyone perfect or "just right". I think the idea of right and perfect is illusory in our human state.

Everyone whom is alive is raw potential. Fulfilling relationships are those where you do not attempt to change someone through threat, guilt, or force, but instead, inspire them to cultivate their potential through the cultivation of your own.

I realize the following are trivial examples, but if you do not like the way someone dresses, eats, or carries themselves, carry yourself in the way you wish for them, and see if you live up to your own standard first, and do it silently.

Everyone is an expression of universal energy and thus everyone is of and is everything that is already complete. They simply do not know it yet, or they have never even considered it. If you love someone, be a mirror, not a jailer.

It is far more fun to be honest with one another about everything that is secretly holding you back or stressing you out, no matter how difficult it sounds. Clearing your conscience in this way, allows the mind to make way for the heart, and you free yourself from your own inhibitions, and the perception of theirs.

Just a thought.
