Welcome back to my love den...
Great relationship, great effort...which means great
commitment and great level of understanding. The sailor's attitude should not
be totally different from yours and mine...and his commitment should not be
swept under, it should be understood, neither should such level of commitment
takes anyone by surprise.
The ship hate the storm, so does the sailor, but the storms
will surely come, and when it comes, it is expected to bring out the best from
the sailor...If the sailor sail well and shows great level of commitment, then
the ship gets to shore without problem, but if the sailor allows himself to get
carried away by the intensity of the storm, then the sailor's competence level
will be questioned.
I have never sail on sea water before, though I have been on
water sometimes, and those times, I have come to understand the great work a diligent
sailor put into his voyage. I love the waters and the cold breeze that greet
early in the morning and late at night. its always magical and full of
wonders...but that is actually not my focus, my focus is on the commitment of
the sailor and the expertise displayed.
So think for a moment about your relationship and borrow the
sailor's ideal way of getting result, the sailor is always in control, no
matter what! So you should be in control of your relationships, no matter what!
The sailor faces the storm squarely, not thinking only about himself but about
the ship and those inside the ship, you should also be more interested about
the success of your relationship, not only about yourself, but also about the
other person, knowing fully well that you are on a voyage, and the success of
such journey depends much more on how you are able to handle issues that comes
along your way.
No sailor want a sinking ship, and yet many are experiencing
a sinking relationship, no matter the storm, an experienced sailor will sail
on... but we? we want out! The problems are getting too numerous, and we cant continue
again, it seems not to be working as planned...yeah, we did have great
expectation and now things are just going opposite of our well organized voyage.
The problem? we never prepared for the storm to roar against
our relationship, we never prepared for those challenges that we are facing
now, we are so overwhelmed by so many challenges that we have begin to belief
we made a mistake...its unusual for the sailor to sail without planning
adequately for the raging storm... so the next time you see those fiery storm
as you sail on in the voyage of life, think of what you, yes I mean you, can do
to easily sail on...
Finally as I round up, I will take on Robert Schuller’s best
seller...Tough time never last but tough people do, your level of commitment
and competence will be put to test in your relationship, whether you are a man
or a woman...high level of commitment and expertise will be demanded from you,
it is always good when the two of you understand the effect of the storms on
your relationship, and you both face it, but if the commitment is not coming
from two people, who cares? you put in the commitment and watch for the
eventual result afterwards.
We understand that the time of great storm is not a time to party, not a time of joy,
not a time of gladness, not a time of comfort, but a time to pause and think, a time you will look back on
and appreciate, a time you will one day greatly adore...whatsoever
you are going through in your relationship, just hang on there, and hope one day for
the best.
Just like the Sailor, the focus should not be on you, but on
the ship, and the people in it.
