A RARE SOLUTION OFFERED

I won't do this often but as promised...

In Forbidden Fruits 2 weeks ago I said I might propose a solution to the tendency to want what we don't or can't have. *A disclaimer, I will say often that in this Blog I don't want to offer solutions rather raise questions to consider. In my book coming soon on the other hand I do propose some principles to actually implement that have shown success for many people.

Anyway, back to this topic...I have found that the solution to restlessness we feel is Gratitude.

If you're like me it can be hard to not focus on what I DON'T have vs. what I DO. Especially, when it comes to relationships this can be so powerful. I find myself now being Divorced stressing over not having the ideal situation yet to have my children when and how I'd like.

Being Single again at the moment, I find myself often feeling lonely and wondering why a good match has not happened yet. I even think that maybe something is wrong with me - well I know of course there are things wrong with me so let's not go there right now.

However, whenever I am able to stop and be thankful for the simple things those anxieties tend to fade quickly away. For me, I try to focus then on being thankful for things like my own & family's health, having a roof over our head in a city that is hard to own or rent in, that there is typically money in the bank, having good transportation, even just for working legs or a mostly sound mind, and the list can go on and on.

The same applies for my relationships...I could wish I had been born into a different family, perhaps one that had more money or resources or owned tons of property in a beautiful place or I could wish I had different kids, etc. Sure I could look at things glass half empty and say "it could always be worse" which is true too and just like the previous Blog's I mentioned we can apply this to any relationships i.e. Work, School, etc.

However, if I look at it half full then I can say things like..."wow I'm blessed to have been born into the culture I was", "Sure my kids aren't perfect, but who is and I love so many things about each them, they're all so different and have such beautiful personalities and massive potential when they let their light shine."

So for those in Romantic Relationships, I want to propose that you be glass half full people if you're not already. I will look to you for inspiration and do my best to live by my own advice when and if I'm in one again I promise. So let's try looking for the simple and even the great things about our partners and focus on how thankful we are for those things and even go as far as showing/telling them! Hopefully, this will help us curb the Concupiscence or Forbidden Fruit syndrome - agreed?

Thank you for reading...I look forward to hearing your thoughts, please comment & share.

Sincerely,

KK.
