Episode 183: Obligation vs Opportunity
When we stop to examine the beliefs that underpin our society, we will find that many of them are pernicious and jeopardize our ability to attain the Alpha state. One of the biggest areas that this plays out in is the way we approach relationships. Many of us believe that the purpose of relationships is to find completeness, but what I am here to tell you today is that this is a complete misunderstanding. When two people enter into a relationship with this type of expectation, the relationship is based on obligation. The results are that the relationship becomes filled with resentment and neither partner is given an opportunity to grow personally. The real purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of yourself you'd like to give, not what part of the other person you can capture. It is only when we approach our relationships with the intention of what we can give rather than what we can take, that they become an opportunity to grow and a crucible for the attainment of our highest selves. Nowhere in your life do you have more of an opportunity to reach your Alpha state than in relationships. In today’s show, you’ll hear how to approach relationships with five goals in mind: personal growth, self-expression, attainment of your highest potential, healing, and ultimate reunion with the universe. To learn the true purpose of relationships, be sure to tune in today with me, Brothers.
