FUNCTIONING IN A BOX? …CHANGE THAT!

Of course all living involves routines. If the routines serve to advance your plans and dreams while achieving balance in your living relationships, you’re good to go. But sooner or later we get caught up in the routine(s) so that it restricts our abilities to pursue our desires. We then sink deeper into the quicksand of identity loss, Too often the realization that this is happening leads us to abort an otherwise healthy relationship rather than proactively changing the routine(s) to fit our growth,

A choice is like the tip of an iceberg, or a fork in our path forward. The unforeseen consequences of some choices ripple through our entire lives…a danger in living in-the-moment. Being true to ourselves whether or not we have compassion or empathy may require a leap of faith, i.e. living in-the-moment. The driving factor is that of not losing our identity in either the routine itself or in our relationship. If we find ourselves merely functioning day-by-day on a purely maintenance basis, we must overtly change the routine, hopefully preserving the support partnership aspects of a relationship. If this is because we have lost our basis of mtutual support because we want different things, then so be it.
