Happy Endings
I had a realization yesterday in between metaphysics discussions with one of my new mentors; the end of a relationship should be celebrated and not mourned. What the masses perceive as failure is actually a valuable lesson if not multiple lessons for us to learn from, if we choose. When we part ways with someone (whether romantic, professional, or personal) it means that we were strong enough to be honest and realize that it’s not a fit for us. Everything that we experienced in that relationship has taught us more about ourselves, other people, and relationships. It ran it’s natural course, so don’t try to hold on, but move on. It has taught us how to obtain and cultivate more of what we want. We should reflect on that relationship as a positive experience regardless of whatever hardships and challenges we experienced with that being. We should ask ourselves, “What did I learn from that relationship? How can I make the next one better? What do I need to tweak in myself to make the next one more aligned with who I am?”
We all have work to do on ourselves, only some of us are more willing than others to admit it. If you can admit you have shortcomings and focus on changing them to strengths, you can progress. It takes a strong person to do this, but once you navigate through and beyond your fears and doubts, you will have more confidence and the practices of honesty and growth will become easier for you.
Don’t be sad if a relationship you wanted to work didn’t turn out as you desired. It’s all for a greater purpose; your lasting authentic happiness. Something better will come along that will be aligned with you if you open yourself up to it. Make sure you create the time and space in your life for this. Be patient and forgiving of yourself and others. We are human after all, and prone to err. Don’t get bitter, depressed, or upset. Those feelings will only keep your mind clouded, your heart heavy, and you unavailable for something better to appear. You will find your way and a right fit as long as you don’t settle or give up. Always remember, something better is in store for you. If you have faith, all your fears and anxiety will disappear. Don’t forget to celebrate your freedom!
All the best in your pursuits of fulfillment. :)
