Accept Your Relationships

by allinspiration.com

It is very common to compare our relationships with the relationships of other people, and with make-believe relationships in novels and movies.

Perhaps you have a very pragmatic relationship with your dad, one more of physical dependence than emotional intimacy. And you envy your neighbor, who enjoys a close friendship with his dad.

However, at the same time, your friend may be envying your relationship with your dad, wishing that his dad would also work hard to bring home the dough, instead of being such a bum.

The point is, every relationship is different and unique. Comparisons are often quite pointless.

When we compare in this way, always wishing that this could be better, or that could be more ideal, we become dissatisfied with the relationships we have. We then fail to enjoy and experience them to the fullest. Worse still, we allow the relationships to deteriorate because of our dissatisfaction.

Accept your relationships. They have their plus points. Focus on them.
