Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can’t prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power. ~ Blaine Lee
Each of us has the power to decide whether or not a hurt, a loss, a change in circumstance is going to keep us down.
Each of us has the power to say, “NO MORE” to someone who is hurting us. Each of us has the power to walk away and look at our inner selves instead of trying to get whatever it is we are trying to get from the outside. It comes down to CHOICE.

Live your own life to find someone who is a true, supportive partner
Copyright © Susan J. Elliott, J.D., M.Ed.
When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter. ~ Tom Robbins
I’ve said over and over that in order to find the right person, you need to BE the right person. No one else should complete you. They should COMPLEMENT you.
A healthy person finds independence and completeness of another to be wildly attractive. Many people would think why would two people who were each complete and happy in their own life, partner up with someone similarly situated? Because secure in your own skin and complete in your own life is good, and complementary with a partner who can help carry the load is really good.
