Relationship Basics Review

Duplication or Distribution without Express Permission Forbidden.

So far, we’ve covered the most important basics associated with the

beginnings of a relationship.

If anyone tries to tell you they’re uncomfortable with you because

you’re "trying too hard", there’s something I would like you to

remember:

If your efforts are genuine and sincere, the only reason someone

would say that is because they feel they are incurring an obligation to

you which they don’t feel they can or want to reciprocate.

When someone feels that way, it would appear quite obvious

they are not prepared to invest them self to the extent you are.

This brings us to the end of the first part of this journal, wherein we’ve

taken a look at the elements which come into play as a relationship is

just beginning, and is trying to develop. But before leaving, let’s

capsulate this section in point form for review purposes.

• Open communication is the beginning of balance

• Allow yourself to be human -- nobody’s perfect.

• Put your energy into realistic potential.

• Trust unless you are given valid reason not to.

• Be patient -- impatience is a trap.

• Be honest with yourself and your partner.

• Don’t expect more of yourself than you’d want your partner to, and

vice versa.

You gain self respect knowing you did your best to be your best.

Don’t make excuses for one who doesn’t merit it.

Talking of fears encourages bonding -- lessens stress.

Simplify what you can and have more energy to deal with what you

cannot.

BALANCE Always think in terms of balance.

INTENT can be your `reaction barometer’.

The relationship which works is the one in which BOTH people are

prepared to play a meaningful, intrinsic, and growth oriented role in the

other’s life -- without creating feelings of obligation or debt. In the next

part of this booklet, we're going to talk about keeping it intact after it’s

begun.
