Life is cyclical, not static. Our relationships benefit when we allow them to follow their own natural cycles.Like the tide ebbs and flows, so do the cycles in relationships. We have periods of closeness and periods of distance. We have times of coming together and times of separating to work on individual issues. We have times of love and joy, and times of anger.Sometimes, the dimensions of relationships change as we go through changes. Sometimes, life brings us new friends or a new loved one to teach us the next lesson. That does not mean the old friend disappears forever. It means we have entered a new cycle.We do not have to control the course of our relationships, whether these be friendships or love relationships. We do not have to satisfy our need to control by imposing a static form on relationships.Let it flow. Be open to the cycles. Love will not disappear. The bond between friends will not sever. Things do not remain the same forever, especially when we are growing and changing at such a rapid pace.Trust the flow. Take care of yourself, but be willing to let people go. Hanging on to them too tightly will make them disappear.
Today, I accept the cyclical nature of life and relationships. I will strive to go with the flow. I will strive for harmony with my own needs and the needs of the other person.Melody Beattie ©

Rejoice in all your relationships, the ones that are easy and the ones that are not. They are bringing you exactly what you need to know for your soul's awakening and evolution.Mary Manin Morrissey

AA Thought of the Day / It is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness... But with the alcoholic, whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience, this business of resentment is infinitely grave. / AA, p. 66

Look for spiritual guidance everywhere and at any time... Spiritual guidance is not restricted to one area, or one particular day, or one particular time of the day. While you may be more open to receiving your guidance in the quiet hours of the early morning, or the late night, your spiritual guidance is always present. It is present in books that you "happen" to come across, articles you are attracted to reading, things you hear that when looked at from that perspective apply to your situation.
Marie T. Russell

Can You Fly? What does the caterpillar newly turned a butterfly feel? Although flying is now within its capability. The way is unclear. Yet, through faith in itself, it gloriously takes off. The beautiful butterfly is forever within each of us. Trust your heart and yourself, and you will find you can fly.Robert B. James

Every single act of love releases blocked energy in your body. Unconditional love heals the body and the mind. Keep reminding yourself of this truth until it becomes your reality. Love is a frequency that you can choose to tune into, just you tune into a frequency on the radio.Wayne Dyer

Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have to be except exactly who you're being right now.Neale Donald Walsch

The places in our personality where we tend to deviate from love are not our faults, but our wounds.Marianne Williamson
