Self growth is like a house in need of painting....If you don't go out and paint it...it will only get worse.
You go out and paint and then relax on your laurels...soon the house will once again need painting.
You paint the house and continue to maintain it....it will be a long time until you have to repaint the whole thing again.
See we take out of a situation what we put into...so by detaching and improving ourselves...we bring more to the table.
I strongly feel that the current state of marital discord in our society is a direct reflection of our overall disconnect with relationships. Many people go into a relationship expecting a certain return without a personal investment in that return. Yet if you make a positive investment in a relationship....many times you get positive return.
I think JFK really alluded to the problem 40 years ago...
Think not what a relationship can do for you, but what you can do for a relationship.
