Happy, healthy, and peaceful relationships are a lot like planting seeds.
You would handle it with care and tend to it,
To make sure it grows into what you desire.
In fact…
The growth of seeds and relationships do not happen overnight.
It can be a long process,
But if you pay attention closely…
You will notice a little bit of improvement every day,
And that’s all that really matters.
You don’t sit and stare at the ground where you planted some seeds,
And wait for it to blossom with every second that passes by.
Instead…
You have the trust and faith in the process,
And you know it will grow into a beautiful plant or tree.
Why?
Because you know you did everything to properly care for it.
You watered it…
Gave it sunlight…
And gave it soil.
And now…
You need to give your relationship the same level of love,
Through consistency and good habits…
So you can live your life together with the same confidence that it will go exactly as you envisioned.
Happy 4th of July to all of my friends! 🎇
Wishing you all a great and safe holiday.
Before I get into today’s quick lesson…
And in case you didn’t know…
I wanted to tell you that our relationships are a lot like the fireworks that will be set off in the sky tonight 🧨
Yes… fireworks.
As you excitedly light the wick of a firework,
You wait a few seconds for it to explode up into the sky with a bright and colorful display of enjoyment…
As your face lights up with a smile from ear to ear and you’re filled with instant happiness.
And this is a metaphor for relationships as well.
When you enter into a relationship… you’re “lighting the wick” of your own firework… for the first time.
And from that moment on,
Your life together and love was made to be a harmony of fireworks igniting into the sky…
Feelings of cheerfulness…
Bliss…
And pure delight…
These “fireworks” can explode just by you both having a night out together… acts of kindness… caring thoughts or words… the list goes on.
It’s all about feeling the “fireworks” 🧨
And the only difference from a real firework,
Is that when it comes to love… there's always an infinite amount of them.
But… I get it.
Life's relationship problems get into the way sometimes.
And not all of us understand that a huge majority of conflicts between partners are caused by misunderstandings.
We wrongly believe our partner feels one thing…
But in reality it is something entirely different (and in most cases it’s something positive).
So how do these particular problems happen?
We draw on negative interactions from our previous or current relationship…
And use these to control our emotions…
Instead of looking at the current situation with a clear mind or heart.
As a result…
We may get angry…
Upset…
Or annoyed at our partner.
And then they become confused at you,
Because it was not their intent to make you feel this way.
And trust me,
I’ve been there… done that…
And I’m sure you have as well.
Now… you’re probably wondering “well how do I prevent this, Linnea?!”
There is a simple one-word answer to this:
C O M M U N I C A T I O N.
And by expressing and explaining your feelings and thoughts…
You leave ZERO room for misunderstandings and more room for fireworks 🙂
