Daily Inspiration
It is challenging to experience our lack of control over others and outcomes. Yet peace of mind lies in this acceptance. When you accept your powerlessness over others, then you can turn your attention to what you do have control over - your own thoughts and behavior, and create the inner peace and joy that only you can create.

Welcome to the Relationship help and advice section of our Learning Center!
Relationships offer us our greatest challenge and most powerful arena for emotional and spiritual growth, and for learning to love ourselves. No matter how much inner work we have done individually, our control issues coming from our fears of rejection and engulfment, will surface in our relationships when there is conflict. Our deepest issues of self-abandonment may be activated within our relationships, which offer us the opportunity to learn to love ourselves on deeper levels.
Our relationship articles offer you a roadmap for healing relationship issues and creating joy in all your relationships. You will find the relationship help and advice you are seeking here.
