Affirmation ~ I have come to the realization that what is possible for me to become in my relationship only truly changes when I am willing to see what is impossible for me to continue being. Commitment is a deep trust, a devotion discovered in the choice to be together. Commitment needs no agreements because it is based on desire, not obligation. A forever love relationship requires devotion, loyalty and a mature ability to commit. For Singles Only ~ It could be said that one of the signs you may be ready for a committed relationship is when you reach a point where you've found someone you love and want to be with, yet you experience a feeling of hesitancy to relinquish the freedom you have also learned to love. It is the solitude of single life; a place where you learned to love who you are and be comfortable with that. It is proof that you know about discipline. To allow yourself a time of healing, a time to get to know you, is a wonderful gift; the same gift of love that now presents the challenge to step into the future, without holding on to the past. It is the first step you take while you are still afraid. It requires letting go of the need to be in a relationship and mastering the fear that keeps you from taking the first step to the next relationship; the singles' rite of passage. The reluctance to experience this ritual may come from a lack of conversations that construct the mutual commitment necessary to honor each other's right to be alone while you are together. A new freedom waits to be discovered; the freedom to be who you really are with the one you love. ©2005
