One lesson at a time...

A difficult love relationship is no gift, but it may be a psychological necessity. Not because suffering is the only path to growth, but becuase we're at a stage, as a species, where we often need to learn the hard way. This is particularly true with respect to love relationship. Very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relatedness. Our ancestors were trapped inside of centuries of generational dysfunction. They had no clue. So, its left to us to figure it out. We are the pinoeers of a new way of relating. The key is to not beat yourself up when love gets difficult. Instead, see it as a laboratory for your own expansion. You are forging the tools you need from your own imaginings. One lesson at a time.. - Jeff Brown
