Sometimes the hardest thing to do is change. Sometimes one person grows and the other doesn't. Sometimes the other wants to but can't or is afraid to. It is sometimes easier not to try for some. I have since learned that if I don't try I know the outcome unless something accidental happens. If I do try, there is a 50/50 chance it could go either way. Some people are afraid of the uncertainty of it all and refuse to try. This way there is no disappoinment. No hopes are broken. All this does is keep someone down. You have to have hopes and dreams, but you also have to be doing things to attain them. Believing that they will get handed to you will not make you appreciate having them. Hard work is necessary. Kind of like our marriages. While everything was going fine we didn't change things about us that were detrimental to our relationships. It was only when we had the choice taken away from us and we had to change have we put in hard work. Hope this makes sense?
