We sometimes fail to work on ourselves in the relationships that are right in front of us, thinking that “real life” begins when they get here. This is just a ploy of the ego once again, making sure that we’ll seek but not find. The problem with not taking relationships seriously if they don’t feel like “Mr. Right” is this: Every once in a while, Mr. Right gets here—he sometimes even appears as Mr. Wrong transformed—but we blow it because we’re not in practice. He’s here, but we’re not ready. We haven’t been working on ourselves. We were waiting for Mr. Right.
