Relationship Advice: Make Your Opportunitiesby Heather Long | More from this Blogger 17 Feb 2007 01:13 PM It's true, throughout our lives people come into and go out of our lives. They touch us, for a brief moment or they stay with us for decades. Each relationship gives you a unique gift and connects us to the rest of the universe. Sometimes those relationships change us - the changes are not always perceptible and we they may not always be expected, but they do happen. Changes Can Improve Us We make changes in our relationships and ourselves in a couple of different ways. The changes can take place gradually over time and be imperceptible to you until one day you make what is called a breakthrough. A breakthrough may be built up to or occur in an instant. A breakthrough is a moment where you suddenly understand something about your relationship that you may have not understood before. These types of breakthroughs include:
How Can You Inspire These Changes? You can inspire these changes in yourself and in your relationships by taking charge and being proactive. Take a good look at your life, are you open to the possibility of change? Are you open to love and a positive relationship? Are you the one getting in your own way? Are you creating the narrow channel and high expectations that require others to jump through hoops to be the way you want them to be? Have you ever parked your car partially on the hose? Have you noticed what it does to the water flow when you are trying to water the garden? You have two choices, you can deal with the trickle of water as best you can or you can move your car and free up the water flow. You control those choices and those realizations and you can control the changes you make to open up the possibilities. I believe firmly that we can create our own possibilities and that our choices can help us make the best of our lives. We can let our previous failures and blocks and bad choices to continue to sit on the hose of our opportunities or we can consciously choose to move the car and remove the block and free up your opportunities and your choices, or you just make do with what you have. So what are you going to do? Are you going to take advantage of your opportunities and help to create your own or just settle for what you think you have?
