"Relationship Revelation"

DF: 17

The common denominator was the need to fix what was perceived to be or actually broken. Perhaps it was the culture that birthed the need to continuously "fix." Maybe it was the need to be needed in the event that something needed to be fixed. No matter how you parse the data relative to the information that seemed to dictate the course of the relationship, the importance of your role is too critical to do nothing and not urgent enough to do everything. Balance.

If there are other elevators coming, there is no need for you to hold the elevator that you are on until it is at capacity. That is not your role. I used to do that amongst other things in an attempt to be everything to everyone, or so I thought. Balance.

One cannot solve all of the problems that they are confronted with, even though they might think that their energy level has the bandwidth to tackle it all, be it great or small. Balance.

The success of your relationship is not contingent upon all that you do out of your innate necessity to fix. For sometimes the things that need to be fixed do not have your name affixed to them. The resolution does not always mean that you are the one to provide the solution. Balance.

That common denominator, was me.

The culture of "fixing," was mine.

The need to fix was "my" need, not an actual need, and therein was where the relationship first started to bleed.

Sometimes the things that need to be fixed do not have your name affixed to them. The resolution does not always mean that it is YOU that will provide the solution. Balance.

God, Love, and Smile Always!
