Meaning under a rock

Dream relationships are often perceived as those with 'staying power.' Yet, where are they? Do you sometimes feel that true meaning in your life is something you may have to seek out like a mystery friend under a rock? 

You might imagine people who always seem to be ready, willing and available to help you out of a bind.  You mind may wander to someone who is willing to stick by you during peaceful and chaotic times, during transitions and other life changes.  You may think of people who have been there through "think and thin."  You may ask yourself where you could seek out people like that to enter your life.

As time passes, you may consider true friendship as being the kind of relationship where you feel comfortable to express your feelings, and prepared for an honest assessment of your behavior.   

As a benchmark, reflect on how you treat others and what sorts of qualities you would like to condition into yourself.  You may benefit from rethinking how you attract your relationships.  The mindset you nurture for and inside you is what you invite into your life.  If you're not experiencing the relationships you desire and think you need, review the signals you send.

Very timely post for me Liara. I am in huge transitions in my life having ended a ten yr relationship and working to figure out my next steps as well as what worked and didn't so that I can take that information with me into the future.

Hi Jenny.
I wish you continued courage and growing self-reliance as you continue to move forward. One of my highschool friends made choices like the ones you describe. She had her reasons and evolved to create a personal life more suited to who she had become.
