Highlights

In whatever situation, we have to check only ourselves: What are we going to do with this situation? What are we going to be? What do we want to show? Which part of goodness do we want to present to our partner or to the world? It is not that the other partner has to present us anything! Whatever he or she wants to present, that's their problem. Our problem is just us; it's always us. But most people, when they are married or when they have a partner or friendship, they pay all their attention to the other part, the other half, and check it out: "Oh, he did it wrong." "She did it badly." "Oh, she's no good." "He's not nice." We forget that we have to check ourselves. We are the ones who are important. Any relationship, any situation, is for us to learn, not for the other person. The other person is only a catalyst. It is an excuse for us to exercise our power, our imagination about ourselves...
