Learn
from the mistakes of the past.
Not
many of us have come to our current relationships without a
few battle scars. Maybe you’ve been dumped unceremoniously, or cheated
one time or carried along by someone offering a magical illusion.
You may have even committed mistakes that destroyed or crippled a promising
relationship. Affairs, desertions, and other calamities strike many of
those around you. Maybe you’ve been spared, but likely, you’ve had your
own horror stories.
Yet
you find yourself in another relationship. You wonder sometimes what is
going on to hit this time around, or when it’s going to strike. Sometimes,
it seems you have happiness within reach, only to have it taken away again.
Where
does all this worrying get you though? It is really the future you
should be spending so much time thinking about, or would it
help you more if you concentrated on where you are right now?
If you look closely at your fears of the future, you can often see
that you have many strong feelings leftover from past relationships. Maybe
it’s time to find out why those feelings are there today, and see what
lessons they are trying to teach you.
Try
learn one small thing from a past bad experience, and see if it can help
you find new ways of loving and new insights to happiness. Sometimes disasters
contain miracles in disguise if you really search for them. That is the
hardest part, but ultimately the most rewarding.
