Pick your sh*t

A great piece of advice from a friend's father went something like this:

Don't pick the guy you like, pick the one whose faults you can cope with and handle because that is what you will have to put up with and deal with.

The things you like about that person will become irrelevant over time and less important than how you build your relationship with another flawed human being.

So basically, pick your sh*t. That's what you are going to have to clean up for the rest of your relationship together!

Busy week...

Sorry, I have a busy week and don't have time to post, I have been reading a couple of interesting posts though which I thought I'd share...

This article by Steve Pavlina, don't die with your music still in you is funny and inspiring. I love what he says about guarding dust, really breaks it down to the bare bones of what we are doing with our lives, literally!!

This one is by Dr Margaret Paul, who uses a technique called 'inner bonding' to heal emotional wounds from the past. Her article is about enmeshed parenting and really interesting because it is quite common, but not many people are fully conscious of it and the effect it has in their lives.

I also have a page on examiner.com and Ezine now. I'm likely to replicate articles from my blog to their site in their house style, so as long as you keep checking in, you'll pick up my work here first.

Have a great week!! xx
