\nforgive, what makes you think that you can succeed in another? It\u2019s
\ntrue, people are different and some people push your buttons more than
\nothers, but everyone is imperfect and everyone is going to push your
\nbuttons at one time or other. You ability to create a successful
\nrelationship depends not so much on your choice of partner, but on your
\nwillingness to forgive yourself and the partner you choose. By all
\nmeans, hold out for the partner you want. Insist on common goals,
\nshared interests and mutual attraction. Abandon any relationship that
\npromises to be abusive, even though you might eventually learn
\nsomething there. Don\u2019t play the game of love with half a deck.

\nmay be, you will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in
\ntruth, and not in lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist.
\nIdentify with love, and you are safe. Identify with love, and you are
\nhome. Identify with love, and find your Self.

\nfact that these hugecreatures were being held by only a small rope
\ntied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was
\nobvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their
\nbonds but for some reason, they did not.
\n
\nI saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent
\nanimals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” he
\nsaid, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size
\nrope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they
\ngrow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break
\naway. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never
\ntry to break free.” <\/p>\n
\nbonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right
\nwhere they were.
\n
\nLike the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a
\nbelief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once
\nbefore?<\/p>\n
