When partners
disagree or oppose one another, the likelihood of positive outcome is
diminished.
Success is determined by the goals and
intentions of the partners.
Success comes with Agreement on Goals, Honesty
and Integrity, Equality and Respect, Commitment to what is Best
for Each, Responsibility for the Outcome without guilt or blame.
Successful
partnerships communicate
and learn continuously with ever the natural growth and evolution of the
relationship depending on individual’s personal growth.
Partners communicate their changes with honesty
and respect and accept other’s changes as well.
Successful
Partnerships that last are committed to an outcome that transcends their
personal needs.
When there is
conflict in any relationship, it is usually because one or more individuals are
not living true to their own purpose.
When we do not
honor ourselves, we may try to affect change in another.
When we are
honoring our own calling, we respect others and mind our own business.
Successful
partnership demands that
we live our life true to ourselves.
Partnerships
are temporary when we are seeking to get something for ourselves rather than
give all we have for the good of all.
I am
committed to be joined, honest, giving and responsible for the Good of All.
I partner with
others in what is for the Highest Good I know.
I live an
inspired life of partnership with the intention of benefiting all those I
encounter.
We are
partners in remembering to Love,

Successful
Relationships
To
have successful relationships with partners, spouse, coworkers, teammates,
children there are five essential factors: Joining, Honesty, Equality,
Commitment, Responsibility.
Joining: All parties must share a
common goal or vision for their relationship. This shared vision comes from
communication regarding the needs of each individual, their vision for the
future and what they share in common.
Honesty: Honest communication is
sharing what really matters with no blame, guilt or withholds.
Honest
is a byproduct of integrity, living one’s life on purpose with openness and
appreciation.
Equality:
When both
parties are giving their best in each moment, there is equality. Equality
is not measured by comparison: it is experienced when there is the willingness
to give one’s best even when it is less than the other. To quit or hold
back on one’s giving creates inequality.
Commitment:
To commit to
the fulfillment of the desired vision or goal and to the success of the
relationship requires always choosing what is best for both. Decisions
are based on what is a win/win for all concerned. One must be committed
to what is highest and best for each party.
Responsibility:
Being fully
able and willing to respond to whatever is needed to create success through
joining, honesty, equality and commitment is being fully responsible. Where
there is guilt or blame being communicated, there is inequality and
victimization as well as lack of responsibility.
To
be successful requires staying conscious.
To
be successful requires a willingness to communicate with respect.
To
be successful requires an acceptance of differences.
To
be successful requires open-minded and appreciation of all parties.
To
take on unconscious patterns of dysfunctional family systems will limit the
success of one’s joining, honest communication, true willingness to give.,
total commitment to what is best for all and assuming full responsibility for
the quality of the relationship.
If
you want success and fulfillment in your relationships, begin today to observe
what you can do to improve them in every way. You need not depend upon
the other changing in order to increase the quality of your relating.
Blessings
for choosing a better way,
Betty
