listened to a conversation between Jay Shetty and Esther Perel today and was struck by many things, but one in particular. Jay mentioned an idea (poem?) that went something like this:
when we’re on our own, we focus on building our life with the bricks we have. some of them are beautiful and strong and well maintained. some are damaged and worse for wear. we do the best we can with what we’ve got. then, we enter a relationship. at some point in the course of the relationship we decide we want to join our lives in a more meaningful way and so we want our partner to move into the house/life we’ve built. they want us to move into the house/life they’ve built for the same reason. instead – why don’t we take the best bricks from each of our individual houses/lives and build an even more strong, beautiful, and abundant life together?
to be continued…
