Spotlight.....on?





















Isn’t it important to understand oneself before trying to understand others?

It seems easy to say this but when you attempt to grow in your relationship or pay attention to what you need to be fulfilled as an individual, it is important to talk to yourself.

Perhaps it is the right time to identify how you behave with yourself, how you are being when you are with yourself!

So, any idea how honest you are to yourself? This is when you are responsible for your deeds and you do not blame your partner. This is also the same time when you stop justifying for what is impractical and work on different things.

While practicing honesty in relationship, you might end up not compromising on things that you did all the time; whether it is waiting long hours to see him/her or sleeping late talking on phone.

But wait! Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round in a true relationship which is you love to wait for that one important person in your life and can go on and on talking over the phone. These tiny little things in life give pleasure. Don’t they?

It definitely makes sense when it is a relationship that looks forward to survive. You might not be able to fix others but you can fix yourself. Think about it!

How much is too much?

How much is too much? This a something we all must have thought atleast once in our life. The difference is that this phrase applies to many things whether it be paying for some products and giving services but today I thought about it in terms of emotional attachments.

















How many times have I asked for too much in my relationships ? Should I even expect anything in the first place? Do I give it back when I am asked to or expected to?
Jees, lot of questions!

I realised that I was asking the wrong people all the time. there is nothing called "too much" in a relationship if the other person is not a stranger. Sometimes, we feel that even after knowing the person in and out, they still remain to be strangers for life. The difficult part is to identify the thin line between whom you know and whom you "think" you know.
