Soul Contracts Part 4 – Positive Reflection Of The Week
Soul Contracts
When Love Hurts Part 4: When It Hurts To Stay
Soul Contracts are a series of contracts that you agreed to follow you in your current lifetime to help you grow. Every difficult relationship that you have has something to teach you about yourself. If you understand this, and pick up on the lesson, you will be spared the misery of going through relationship after relationship, experiencing heartbreak over heartbreak.
Some lessons are easy and immediately empower us. Examples would be, life-long friends, deep family
connections, anything that is based on love, mutual respect, and wanting the best for each other. These
kind of relationships do not disempower you. But elevate you and help you grow.
And then there are the relationships or connections that drain us. They weigh down on us and leave us
completely disempowered. We find ourselves always hurt, miserable and wounded in these connections. But, you must have come across Rumi’s famous quote: The wound is where the light enters from.
It is these very negative relationships that reach us what we need to heal within ourselves. Perhaps it is a toxic relationship that will force us to start loving ourselves and holding ourselves in high esteem. Maybe it is a cheating spouse that will help us reinforce and put our boundaries in place. Sometimes, it could even be that difficult boss that forces us to take one more look at our values and decide if we are compromising them.
Do any of these sound familiar to you?
I’m sure they do. But here is the key. Should you find yourself in the midst of such a relationship, or
connection, before you do anything, take a step back and ask yourself what is this here to teach me? What is it about myself that I am meant to heal?
Instead of crying over relationships that have fallen apart, look at what you need to put together inside of you. And remember, it is better not to have what you want, than to have what you don’t want.
