Only In Relationships

“Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation.

The movement of behavior is the sure guide to yourself.  It’s the mirror of your consciousness; this mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness, the joy and sorrow. Poverty lies in running away from this, either in its sublimations or its identities.”

                                                                        J. Krishnamurti

In relationship we meet our greatest demons and our greatest joy.

Take an inventory of who is in your life. Notice how you relate to each other. What might this person be here to teach you? What lessons have you already learned? How have these lessons contributed to the person that you are today?
