Life is a constant state of flux where everything is perpetually changing to provide us with opportunities to evolve and become MORE!
People come into our lives as profound teachers to show us aspects of life we need to learn and to mirror important information back to us to enable our development. When we experience difficult relationships, whether at work or play or of the heart, we have frequently found someone who has come to teach us considerable lessons. Rather than being dismissive of such people, we need to discover the purpose of that meeting and only once we have effectively learnt new tricks should we move on.
Relationships that lack vitality and have survived more through passive inaction than conscious cultivation have invariably served their purpose and as a consequence, seem to lack flow or dynamism. Before blaming the other person for this decayed relationship, we need to question whether the atrophy is through taking the situation for granted and a lack of effort. In such circumstances we also need to understand whether we are resisting uncomfortable change by refusing to engage in constructive confrontation to rekindle the effective energy exchange between parties.
When we come into an attitude of self-love, we do things to nurture relationships that make us to be progressively MORE! To love ourselves, we need to constantly evaluate relationships to determine whether people make us to be MORE or LESS. Someone who naturally drains your energy by being overtly negative or abusive or who encourages behaviour that is contrary to growth, is not worthwhile in creating a life of value. These people gradually make us to be LESS and need to be weeded from our existence.
Conscious living provides us with the awareness or knowingness to ascertain who is good for us and who needs to go. This is not about being a selfish "taker", but more about communing with people who share a common vision of making a meaningful life and generating a substantial two-way interaction.
Look carefully at who is in your life and make responsible choices to fashion the best life imaginable. Always choose to be MORE!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I esp appreciate this post as it has come to me right at a time when I felt that I'd reached the crossroads in my current relationship. You are encouraging me to re-evaluate before jumping to hasty conclusion.
