Freedom of choice

I am an avid follower of Les Brown and I appreciate the work he does and the words he speaks. I follow him on Facebook, and last week he posted something which spoke to my very core as a woman and as an adult human being. He wrote:


Are you living together or dying together? Reflect on this question - What is my relationship doing to me? Am I growing mentally, emotionally and spiritually? Is it nourishing or is it toxic? Does it bring out the best in me? Can I be myself? Take a good look in the mirror. Are you being true to yourself and real about what matters to you? Look in the mirror and face the truth about who you are, where you are and what you really want.
 
If you're in a positive, loving relationship, find more ways to create a richer,  connected life together. Continue to deepen the romance and see each other as the best thing that ever happened in your lives. Increase and enhance communication which is the key that unlocks the door to deeper intimacy. 

On the other hand, have you allowed yourself to put on a mask and pretend that everything is fine? Are you in a place where neither one of you wants to be the first to say goodbye? When you're alone, do you find yourself in places of quiet desperation? Whatever is going on in your personal relationship will show up in your professional performance. Make the choice to live your authentic self and live in a life that you love. You Deserve!
 
 
I think that this is just so poignant on how we allow ourselves to live our lives! In our work, in our families, in our friendships, and especially in our partnerships. Are you living together or are you dying together? My wish for you is that you are LIVING together and GROWING together.
 
Take care of one another.
