Nature always provides the best answers when I am in doubt. The relationships we have with others can turn overwhelming sometimes. Sometimes, our expectations from a relationship can ruin everything we built up. We tend to expect a lot from others than look at ourselves. It was in such a situation I learned this lesson from nature and it was to Let go.
Not a new philosophy but it is easy to forget the things we know the most when we are in need of it. The key to any successful relationship is the space we give the other person. It should not be too far that there is no connection between the two, not too close that it suffocates them. Like how a good soil for a plant should be.
A good soil that nurtures a plant should be able to retain the water. At the same time, it should be able to drain the excess water. All our relationships should also hold this space. We should be able to let go of the ego and feelings that kills the relationship. We should be able to hold just tight enough that it doesn't get suffocating inside a relationship.
It is easy to say something rather than practice. I hope I will be able to practice this in my life. I hope this helps in your life.
Love,
