Reflecting on families and relationships lately I’ve realized that there is no way to progress while simply living on autopilot.
The simple desire to have good relationships within our family and with others doesn’t come as easy as we think sometimes. It’s not all rose colored, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth ever giving up either.
Families and relationships need to be nurtured.
They require effort and consideration, evaluation and adjustments, time and love. Sometimes we think that simply having a family of having a close relationship will bring us all we want. But in reality, it really requires quite a piece of us.
Families and relationships are fragile.
Families are really just made up of people, a relationship 2 people.
People with different ideas and views, some loud and others quieter, some open some closed, with different wants, needs, and struggles.
It would be a shame to simply give them, (those closest to us who have helped us overcome so much, those who make us the happiest) the same level of time, love and commitment we would to a stranger.
They get bounced around and mixed up in the craziness of life and often we fail to slow down and consider what we are doing to build our families and relationships.
We live on autopilot. And only when the finally see the spiral down and see the crisis do we take it off.
Some jump, not wanting to wait or accept the risk of “failure” but there’s fall out here, while the strongest stay to overcome it.
But that’s why families and relationships do work. Having more than 1 person to work together and overcome challenges and hardships makes families grow. It can nurture them and bring them closer together. Only the families and relationships that continually seek to improve and overcome are those that will find the most happiness.
