Daily Love & Life Advice – Your Guide to Navigating Relationships
Are you facing a dilemma in love? At the very least, you’re not sure if you should open your heart (or maybe your bank) for the benefit of someone else. Perhaps matters are at a standstill because you’ve been avoiding what you’d rather not face, or you’re waiting for the tide to turn in a situation.
You may be stuck with a difficult decision or looking at the prospect of agreements or settlements, and if so, a pause may actually place you in a powerful position where the delay works to your advantage. On the other hand, the inclination to sit things out and do nothing just because it’s easy might be a regrettable choice.
Your predicament includes squelching the irrational fears that keep cropping up because of an uncertain outcome. But hey, there are no guarantees in life beyond death, taxes, and inevitable change. If you can’t get the emotions you’ve been working so hard to deny under control, they may erupt in the worst way, causing you to do or say the very thing that puts your intended goal at risk.
You can wave a white flag if you wish, but without connection that evolves out of self-love, you’ve just bought yourself a little more time with a temporary truce. You’ve kicked the can down the road for now, but you can expect the eventual return to the same old conditions that brought you here in the first place. True generosity is a reciprocal act of giving and receiving—to fulfill the need you have for more love in your life, be prepared for a great deal of truth-speak, but more importantly, true listening, that in turn elicits responses that come from the heart and not just your head.
If you’re fence sitting because you don’t actually have a stake in the game, you may be stirring the pot as instigator to incite conflict between others with an eye on the spoils of their war.
If you’ve got a question about love, romance or relationships send it here. If chosen, your question and the response will be featured on a Dear beLOVEd post.
