Are you living your best life?

I know that I am and I'm not faking it! I am happier than I've ever been. And I say that with such certainty because being happy is a decision; your decision. Are you unconsciously holding someone else accountable for your happiness? I must admit that I was when I was married. I didn't realize it until it was too late. Now that I'm not in a relationship and my focus is no longer on my husband, making him happy, and trying to figure out what would make us happy, my surroundings are clearer than they've ever been. What I've discovered is that there are a lot of unhappy people walking around expecting their lives to change without them actually participating in it.

My heart goes out to those who constantly argue about senseless stuff, are not on the same page as far as raising the children, financially living separate lives, no spiritual commonality, no in dept communication about how they truly feel, and most importantly, no plan on how to get back what they once had. I can tell you from experience that divorce is very painful and the aftermath can shake the very foundation that you once stood on.

Take a long look at your relationship and your partner. If you love him/her and still want to spend your lives together, simply say it and start working on having a successful, nurturing and more passionate life together. And if it isn't working and counseling is not an option than I suggest that you be honest with yourselves and let it go. Love isn't supposed to hurt and it isn't supposed to harbor resentment. It's not perfect but it is worth fighting for because when all else fails, the greatest gift is loving and being loved in return.
