The One Thing That Makes Love Work

From Steve Errey and the excellent blog www.lifehack.org

1) It’s important to know what you really need

2) You need to be in a place where you feel ready to be in a partnership with someone

3) You need to open up your baggage so that it doesn’t weigh you down or steer things in the wrong direction

4) Relationships aren’t about blaming someone else for what’s wrong or needing to be right

5) The things you like and love about your partner are what matter, not what you don’t like.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT THING :

6) You have to be ready to let go and make it up as you go along, also called act of letting go “freefall”, because there’s a point where you just have to let yourself go; a point where you have to loosen your grip and let gravity take its course.

Love isn’t about game playing and it isn’t about logic, and all the relationship tips, advice, checks and balances mean nothing unless you agree to do this one thing.

Loving someone is scary, confusing and unpredictable, and the catalyst to making a choice to freefall is a big bag full of courage. You have to trust yourself to feel your way through and you have to forget about the old rules you’ve set and all the “should’s” and “ought’s” that set you spinning.

Be willing to make it up as you go along. Be willing to let your heart play a bigger role. Be willing to admit that you don’t know what you’re doing and be willing to take a chance.

As far as love goes, we’re all in the same boat. Play from the heart.

Reminder :
HOMME versus FEMME
Compétence versus Relation
Séquentiel versus Multi-tâche
Problème seul versus Parler problème
Rationnel versus Emotionel
Confiance versus Attentions
Appréciation versus Compréhension
