INSISTING ON THE BEST:


We deserve the best life and love have to offer, but we
are each faced with the challenge of learning to identify
what that means in our life. We must each come to grips
with our own understanding of what we believe we
deserve, what we want, and whether we are receiving it.

What hurts? What makes us angry? What are we whining
and complaining about? Are we discounting how much a
particular behavior is hurting us? Are we making excuses
for the other person, telling ourselves we're "too demanding"?

Are we reluctant, for a variety of reasons, especially fear,
to tackle the issues in our relationships that may be hurting
us? Do we know what's hurting us and do we know that we
have a right to stop the pain, if we want to do that?

We can begin the journey from deprived to deserving. We
can start it today. We can also be patient and gentle with
ourselves, as we travel in important increments from
believing we deserve second best, and taking responsibility
for that.
