The Right Partner... and the Balance

I had an excremental day at work yesterday. Late afternoon I watched a few episodes of a popular TV  series and one of them had to do with a couple -- a partnership of sorts. It got me thinking.

We all suspect and some of us (very fortunate) know first hand, that being with the right partner is one of the highest blessings.
Together we are more than the sum of the parts; an explosive togetherness has exponential power to do things and achieve greatness for the partnership.
So, the right partner is the one that makes us feel better, stronger, worthier and, importantly, more ourselves -- the partnership that reveals and enhances our strengths. There is balance between the two.
One could go on...

But, what happens when you are in a lesser partnership? One that does not add; one that does not inspire either partners to go beyond themselves; or a one-sided partnership where one does not provide support in any palpable way? There is imbalance...

If it is in business, the result is catastrophe: one side's contribution constitutes only cost, financial and psychological.
If it is in a personal relationship, the result is emotional sterility.

In both cases the presence of the inactive part becomes an obstacle to the other partner to move on.
An impasse.
The solution may be a dissolution or it may be a rekindling the partnership energy. Whichever it is, it is the other partner's imperative to act.
Because the one draining the partnership has found an obvious comfort zone and will not budge.

It is up to the other partner to bring about a new, positive, balance to the situation: create a new partnership or eliminate the drain of the existing one; recreate harmony.

Bring about a new balance.

The Little Things In Life

When I was young I believed that the beautiful things that happened to me or the important things that happened to me, were eternal. So, an important moment in life, my life, would be there for eternity. A friend

Until I discovered that moments in time are what we make of them and they last as long as we give them life.

Fortunately.

The good moments live on within us for as long as we want them.
Hopefully, the bad moments just fade away.

The Unalterable Inevitability of Fact

I can argue that the sun is blue until I am blue in the face. Using words anything is possible and anything can be claimed, as politicians have proven (especially "left wing" politicians) throughout history.

But the fact still remains, the sun is what it is whatever the colour claimed.

Reality does change; only perception of reality is tainted...

All the rest is trash !

The Strongest Man

Is He Who Is Not Beset By Expectations.

There Is Someone Out There...

A friend said to me on the phone yesterday,  "... I know there is the right person for me out there, probably close to me right now. But how can I meet her? I cannot meet her, there is no way."

When will someone come up with an app that does just that: brings you close to your "other half"?

For those who have not found him or her, of course...

(She or sheik, take your pick)

Living Together

I overheard a couple talking about problems, children, money. They probably discussed one another as well, but I didn't hear it.

An idea came to me: what do people bring to their couple:
- problems
- personal  hang-ups
- pride
- jealousy
- talents
- love
- communication
- miscommunication
- sex
- hope
- dreams
- disappointment
- confidence
- insecurity
- a past
- ....

I wonder who does best:
-the couples who start out with nothing but each other
-the couple who start out with everything
-the couples that are in-between


I know who is in the running for worse: the in-between.
