The Way Forward (The Inward Trilogy)

by Yung Pueblo

maturity is realizing that half of what you want to say does not need to be said being able to see the difference between ego reactions and helpful points that can uplift harmony or reaffirm your values makes a real difference “speak your truth” does not mean “speak your ego”

sometimes we go back to our old life for a little while to remember that it no longer fits

an attachment to control essentially comes from having a bad relationship with change

my intuition tells me this is a new chapter in our very old story

understanding over winning: normally, we seek to win arguments, but that framing creates a situation in which one person is bound to lose. relationships should never be about continued continued domination. it is much healthier to approach conflict with a goal of understanding. when you understand one another and can meet each other in the middle, there won’t be much left to argue about, and it becomes easier to let go of the conflict entirely. when understanding is the goal, arguments tend to be shorter and lighter. they can even foster a deeper connection.

deep relationships will periodically need intentional rebalancing so that both people feel supported in their power and happiness

what worked before may not work well now because you have both grown so much
