Even when I lose I’m winning: The secret to harmonious relationships
I’ve been pondering these beautiful and insightful words from singer John Legend.
They’ve helped me embrace our planned move to the UK. While I adore Sydney life, I know that for my precious family unit to really flourish as a whole, we need make a move. Whatever choices I have to make to facilitate that, I still win because what I value most is protected.
When we learn to embrace this concept in our close relationships, much conflict drops away. It’s a powerful notion, seeing ourselves and our loved one as being part of the one whole – there is no competition, no winner, no loser, just a team that plays together with the same purpose at heart.
The term ‘other half’ is often used, but perhaps is not often enough absorbed into how we think, feel and act in everyday life. Another way we are challenged to evolve as beings, by chipping away at our sense of ego.
Powerful words indeed – what do they mean for you?
