Take responsibility for your own happiness and fulfillment from "summary" of Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Mira Kirshenbaum
When it comes to relationships, it's easy to fall into the trap of expecting our partners to be solely responsible for our happiness and fulfillment. We may believe that it's their job to make us happy, to fulfill all our needs and desires. But the reality is that no one else can truly make us happy or fulfill us completely. We must take responsibility for our own happiness and fulfillment. This means acknowledging that our well-being is ultimately in our own hands. We have the power to create our own happiness, to find fulfillment within ourselves. By looking inward and understanding our own needs, desires, and values, we can take the necessary steps to ensure our own happiness and fulfillment. When we rely solely on our partners to make us happy, we set ourselves up for disappointment and resentment. No one person can fulfill all our needs, and expecting them to do so is unfair and unrealistic. By taking responsibility for our own happiness, we relieve our partners of the impossible burden of being our sole source of fulfillment. Taking responsibility for our own happiness also means being honest with ourselves about what truly makes us happy. It means not settling for a relationship that no longer brings us joy, even if it may be comfortable or familiar. It means having the courage to pursue what truly fulfills us, even if it means stepping out of our comfort zone.- Taking responsibility for our own happiness and fulfillment empowers us to create the life we truly desire. It allows us to cultivate a sense of independence and self-reliance that is essential for a healthy, fulfilling relationship. By prioritizing our own well-being, we can create a strong foundation for a relationship that is built on mutual respect, understanding, and love.
