principle presented in a book by Al Ritter.
I would imagine that many will find his
way of looking at relationships questionable.
After all, there is the thought that relationships
should be 50/50. Oddly enough, I don't know
any that are even close to 50/50.
I think relationships are give and take,
and depending on what's going on there may
be more give than take or more take than give.
However it is the unique equation between the
two who are relating that makes it work, or not.
Al suggests that we take 100% responsibility
for the relationships we are in, and expect
nothing back. In his book he quote Tony Robbins:
"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships
come from the fact that most people enter a
relationship to get something: They're trying
to find someone who's going to make them feel
good. In reality, the only way a relationship
will last is if you see your relationship as a
place that you go to give, and not a place you
go to take."
I have not yet read the book, but you can read
a sample here, and for today, the book is only
$10, and they throw in an additional one for
free. Don't want 2? Then buy something else,
and you'll get the book for free.
I have nothing to gain from you buying it, just
in case you are wondering. I just thought there
might be some who would read this, and might
find the idea to be of interest.
In the end, he suggests that there is a paradox
with a 100/0 relationship. The paradox, it
would seem, is that when one person acts in
this manner, the other person seems to get
there, too.
Here's a short promo video:
See what you think. If you get the book, I'd
love to know your thoughts/impressions.
Have a great day!
