Two eggs and a frying pan (or what is an equal relationship?)
Whether it's a business relationship or personal relationship, we strive for equal.
We feel best when we we feel that the relationship is equal. And equal is the easy word to use for all the soft, nebulous, intangible qualities and contributions that can get hard to define. But most of us know what it means when we say that the relationship is equal or unequal.
We think equal looks like this:
This isn't equal. This is the same. And none of us are the same. Ever. In any way.
In relationship there's a better way to understand equal. It truth it looks more like this:
(Probably not the picture you expected. :) )An equal relationship exists when all parties are engaged to the full measure of their capacity. Being fully engaged is harder than it sounds or looks. We have so many ways we hang back, defer, or give in to fears.
When we live in mastery and we're in relationship (and we are always in relationship with everything) we are aiming for the full engagement.
With abandon.
With fear.
To our greatest potential.
When we do so we have more balance, more energy and we feel life spin with greater ease and excitement.
So start feeling for your engagement. Take note of your clients and friends. You'll probably find that the ones that are most dear to you are the ones who are engaged with you to the same degree that you are engaged.Strive for full engagement. With your Self. With your mastery. Reach for your greatest potential. You deserve it.
