Life Works #8

Relationships, relationships, relationships. Sometimes it seems as though you can't live with them and most of us certainly don't want to live without them. Most of hunger for meaningful and fulfilling relationships. However, in fulfilling our desires for meaningful relationships we find out the whole relationship thing can get quite complicated.

In real life we find that relationships between husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, friends and acquaintances, employees and employers all seem to have struggles and challenges that seem overwhelming and sometimes impossible. So even though all of us want fulfilling and meaningful relationships, as the old saying goes, "its easier said than done."

So where do we go? "The Source!" We go to the one who has the words of life that make "Life Work" in the area of relationships. Yes my friend, "the Source" not only created relationships but also understands how relationships work the best. Not some relationships, but all relationships. So, if you find yourself at the reading of this blog in struggling relationships maybe its time to see what "the Source" has to say about it and not just listen, but put into practice what "the Source" has to say.

Let me give you one quick example of what "the Source" has to say about relationships and then I will elaborate more in my next blog. Here is a quote,

"What causes fights and quarrels among you, don't they come from your desires that battle within you?"

So here we have "the Source" revealing to anyone who will listen the root cause of all fighting and quarreling. Fighting and quarreling is birthed out of the desires battling within us. A further observation of these desires will cause all of us to see that not only are these desires there, they also cause us to want our own way.

So if fights and quarrels are born from the desires that battle within us then the solution is to either control or eliminate those desires. The problem with many of our relationships then is not only external, or the other guy, but the problem is often born in us.

Takes some time before our next blog and think about the desires that battle within you that have caused you to be more than hard to get along with in one of more of your relationships. What do you observe in you? Will talk about the other person later.
