Absolute Values
We often think of values in terms of absolutes. This leads to assuming that if caring is good than caring more for a relationship is a good thing. However what many relationships need is less care. Care can become a suffocating obsession that weakens both parties when not balanced with aliveness, freedom and independence. It is ironic that when we care more about our path than our relationships, we make better choices in relationships.
Action: Write out what is more important to you than your ideal relationship. When you find yourself attached in ways that do not serve you within your relationship, shift attention to things that are more important.
