because any relationship that I'm going to influence- I am- only gonna be able to influence it through you. If these this exist. There deal breakers need to get out and get out right now are you willing to measure quality your relationships based on results, not intention based on research to fill media bend. Your way to fill in the blanks fear we just finished part series call living by design and in that ten part series I gave you a playbook to be a power to be a winner in your life.

What I want to do now is talk to you about the fact that you are a social b, because I've studied And no one case study I've done of success. Was alone Ranger, every one of them surrounded themselves with people wanted. To succeed and know what that means, that means every one of them had relationships Some of them were marital relationships. Some of them were family relationships. Some of them were friends whatever with that all had relationships gonna do a series with you now I think is, really well with living by design this series is called relationship reality check endless job title is how much further. You live with

you don't get nowhere. I really love fill in the blanks because is giving me a chance without the story in front of me without a couple or a family in front of me to do, to deal with some information, some facts, a data download that you can take and apply to your situation, your story and when you watch the show which I hope you do, I hope it's really interesting because I think you can take a lot away from seeing what people are doing in their own lives, but there is also a place for me is being able to talk to you about what I have learned across forty five years, of living and learning and counselling about what it really takes to six aid as a social being and that's what I want Talk to you about what I say, social being a mean. Think about it. We our social animals,

you cannot go through your day without interacting with other people. If you go with a girl, restore you go the gas station I mean true, we are. In very automated, but you still have to deal with people. Trust me if you're standing in the line at the grocery store and you're like third in a line of ten years, have a relationship with the person right in front of you and you, have a relationship with the person right bind you now it's a brief relationship by It is mutually defined. Like you, but behind this person in line at the grocery store, they know you're. There You know they're there somebody behind you and I know you're in you, know their behind you. So what are you gonna do? You're, going find a relationship with both of you that the person proud of you look over his shoulder and say hot enough for you. And you might say, yeah and your back

at the expiration date only wilt garden. Ok, now you ve just If I had your relationship here, a casual comment, you heard that come in an encounter rejected. Is it ok fine, you said something I choose to engage. War you might turn around to the person behind you. And say about all this ray. We been heaven, that person might say you're not kidding. It was flooding in my street today I had to go move this and that any new guys might strike up a conversation. Their next thing. You know you're talking about the rams, the cowboys, the Yankees or whatever, as you go through the wine. So you mutually to find a different relationship, but it is mutually define, because I believe in the principle of reciprocity and let me Tell you how important this is, because you truly, what you give in a relationship

I condemn them all see somebody you know, and they say he has gone, They find in you What are they gonna say? They say how's it going. You say fine and you what are they most likely to say you could move bet. What's come out of their mouth next. It's gotta be something like fine or I'm good. Thanks for asking it's going to be at the same level. If you engage superficially their likely to respond superficially, if they, up to you and say: hey: go on and you say well to tell you that This is the hardest week of my life. I lost my mother two days ago now? What are they gonna say where they say well, I'm good, actually good, see you by no they're, not gonna, do that you have just taken,

from the superficial to the vulnerable. They're going to reciprocate at that level. They're not gonna, give you a superficial, oh really, well, good, to see you it's not gonna happen. Ass. They re, smooth, running psychopath they're gonna reciprocate by reflecting feeling not content. There is a big difference. And that's what I mean about the principle of reciprocity. I tell you that to tell you, this Whatever relationships, you have friends, coworkers lovers, spouses, You have mutually defined that relationship I'm going to talk to you first about you. Why because you're the only one listening to this right now you might have ten or twenty key relationships in your life, but unless you set up bleachers

you're the only one, I'm talkin to you right now, which mean if you ve, got twenty relationships. I can't be too looking to the other twenty right now I can only talk to you, which means I can only influence you so wanna talk to you about you, And that works out really well, because any relationship that I'm going to influence, I'm only going to be able to influence it through you any relationship that needs fixing a bit gets fixed. It's gonna get fixed by you. Any relationship that you want to change Change agent is going to be you. Any relationship that you want to complete they redefine. It's going to be redefine by fill in the bike, you

So why am I calling this a relationship series well. I called it relationship reality check because the Truth of the matter is relationships are not fifty fifty that's one of them. Biggest myths of relations Epps and we're gonna be breaking Submiss as we go along people yeah. I got married, and so this needs to be fifty five we need each come meet in the middle halfway relationships, not fifty fifty relation The apes are one hundred one hundred that me You have to look at yours, health is one hundred percent responsible for you own destiny. You need look at yourself as one hundred percent responsible. For what ever relationship you have in your life in the region, I say that because the only person you control is you that's the bad news, the Good NEWS, is the only person you control? Is you that's both in

bad news and reason. It's also. The good news is because this year, the person you have access to. That's the only person you need to change in order to You define a relationship. You can't control anybody else. You can inspire them. You can end Then you can create. The different environment that pulls for different responses for them, but the only person you control is you. If you want to engage the world in a different way than I need to talk to you not about your partner but about you and do We're gonna have to make a deal right now, It's good nobody's! Listen to this because it means you can be real because you cannot be defensive. You cannot be a right fighter? You can do you know you cannot be rigid and you cannot be hard headed. You have the decide, ok, look for the time I'm listening here and talking with Doktor Phil, I'm gonna.

Take down my defences and I don't need to be right, I'm just gonna, listen. Who knows he I actually know something. I don't know pro Probably not, but you know, maybe oh boy, and so find an acre, maybe I'll stumble across something that may be you don't know, and maybe you can you and if you think that was sarcastic, if you picked up on that, I hope because I was heap in it on pretty heavy I've studied relationships, and I want to share with you what I know if you want to focus on saving a relationship that often the ditch, maybe gotta relationship in trouble. Maybe it's with, spouse babies with your boss- maybe it's with your best friend. It seems to have changed. Well, ok, but the vehicle the secret to making that relationship, something that it's not right. Now is you Here's where I want to start either

they say many times that we generate the results in life that we think we deserve it. You are in a bad relationship list justice this is a romantic relationship, maybe you're married, maybe it's just somebody you're living with or dating or whatever, but it's giving you what you want and I'll bet you If I swung this MIKE around, you could spend the rest of this time. Telling me how flawed your partner is they don't get it, how they are not reasonable, how they are this her? They are that, and you may be, I don't know again, since they are not here I can influence them. I can only influence you there I'm telling you that my first go here is to restore you too a position in this life to being the kind of person in this I think, commands quality in your relationship. The kind of person

that inspires respect the kind of person that Not settle for anything, the relationship other the what you really want and need from this relationship. If you are in a relationship that is marked by pain, confusion, emptiness, despair, distance, conflict, you ve lost canoe. Action with the person. Then I can tell you you have sacrificed your personal power, you have lost your dignity and your self esteem, because if your partner is ever everything that you're saying You mean their rude, their ugly, their cold year pudding, with it, Why would you do that? Why would you let somebody treat you that way.

I flew number eight, we teach people how to treat us. We teach people. A treat us don't tell me what a bitch your partner is. Don't tell me what a jerk your partner is. Tell me why? That's ok with you and your support? I'm ok with me. Well, based on results. It is we're gonna talk about results before we finish today's conversation because it's something I'm gonna, ask you to agree to devote yourself too. But what am I saying here, I'm saying what ever your relationship is. You either illicit, maintain or allow that to go on in your relationship. You do teach people how to treat you. You do reward certain things from other people, because they wouldn't do it. If you didn't they're getting a pay off from it. Maybe it's a sick,

lay off? Maybe they love to see you in pain. I dont know but when you lose your personal power, when you give it away to somebody else, when you sacrifice your dignity and self esteem, sets it you're willing to accept what you dont want then, You ve done is learn to accommodate, took pain and disappointment. And if you letting your partner abuse you if you're letting them abuse you by a number of things. Maybe it's actually physical abuse, maybe it's mental or emotional. And let me tell you abuses, not what most people think most people think abuse just when somebody pitchy and head comes up slap, your face or throws up against the wall or Chokichi were what is that abuse absolutely thus abuse? That's not much of a stretched

the larger, the yell and scream at you and call you names and domain. You then understand how that's abuses as well right. That's verbal and emotional abuse. But sometimes people miss some forms of abuse, for example with holding emotions withholding affection? creating distance and keeping you isolated in an emotionally baron relationship. That too is abusive, b, in over controlling where they take away your self expression, where they cause you to sacrifice being All of who you are in order to be half of a relationship that is abusive. Some relationships are so controlling that they make the person get all of their friends approved.

They listen into their phone calls. They choose. What they wear them. Choose who they speak to they take the car keys when they leave that morning so who the person is it stays at home, can't go anywhere or they Keep the money so tightly controlled that they don't have five dollars to put gas in the car to go, see their mother being over controlling can be abusive. So ask yourself You were the partner that dealing misery to you. Are you with a partner that somehow is creating you constant tension. If you are, can you criticise your partner, for we are pose. You could. But my question is not what's wrong with it. My question: what's wrong with you, why You allow that. Well, I'm the one who spoke-

to have the answers? So let me answer that question, for you, Why would you allow their well you might allow it, because it's the devil. You know you ve, been a relationship and at least you're, not alone, and it's scary out there right, If this person is that way, they may be telling you nobody else would watch you, maybe they ve, bug in your ear in your believing that- and maybe you ve told yourself, I stood before God and made a covenant. For better or worse. Word is doing the worse right now. So I made my mistake when I stood before God, my discovered it so I'm trapped

I'm not going to quit on God. So I'm going to stay here and let this person abused me, you need to read the rest of you Bible. If that's what you're telling yourself but here's, why you're doing it you're doing it, because you have lost touch with your core consciousness. You've lost with what I call your core consciousness and that is that place within you. Where you are in touch with your greatest strengths, your instincts, your values, your talents, your wisdom, swear. All of those things are found, its that place where you have an inner clarity and an unshaken full confidence and those characteristics alone determine quality life. I think about what I just said: your core consciousness.

What you know about yourself about yours, thanks. You know what your qualities are. You know why you're a decent human being. You know what your instincts are, you know the difference between right and wrong. Your values are clear. Your talents are well known. You have wisdom, but you ve learned in your life and I'm not talking about book learning. I don't care if you ve got a Phd in M D Ba or suggest a graduated from the school of hard knocks EU have wisdom when you are in touch with this core consciousness? There is an inner clarity and that unshakeable confidence you know What is right, I believe, If people know the truth when they hear it, including from themselves. You know when you're being your own best friend, and you know when you are not in the most important relationship you will ever have

is the relationship you have with yourself I said the subtitle to this series relation chip reality check was how much firmer you to live with. You as that from your partners. Point of view You also need to ask it from your point of view how such fun or you to live with. Just from your point of view, see, I think every one of us is alive manager, the client list of what your life manager this desire. I'm alive, manager and my client is fill. I got one client, Nashville so Oh my do it. I have to ask so how am I doing? Am I managing myself into a nice life, that's more than money do I enjoy my days? Are they too,

soon filled and anxiety, laced or is there a joy in my life? Is there site when in passion in my life, have. I managed myself into a life that is full of joy, excitement, passion, purpose. Or have I manage myself in the misery. Have I manage myself into bleakness, who is lay out God. I gotta get up and do this again wholly God. I gotta listen to this again, I gotta guerrillas job again, I gotta put up with this health again, I'm out of shape on this on that issue. I've managed myself into a miserable lifestyle. If I had a life manager that did that, if they manage me into misery, I would want to fire them right, but you can, fire yourself so

That means you gotta jack yourself up and be a better life manager, including what you're settling for when you're in touch with your core conscious this? You don't saddle- and I want you- the honest with yourself cause. I'm gonna be honest with you, the tree it is not always easy to here, but it is always the truth I not want to hear you may not like hearing it. It may be difficult, but It is always the truth. My partner Robin says there are not versions of the truth, there's just the truth. What I'm asking you to do. First is right away all of life's layers of distortion. All the negative messages that you ve been accumulating. All the messages of doubt that you ve been accumulating no matter what else you may have learned, if continue to settle. If

continue to sell out. If you continue to self sabotage, Then you will continue to create the results that you think you deserve and if what you expect sitting in your relationships either with yourself or with other people, is pain and guilt and confusion in anger. Then you are not in touch with that core. Consciousness that place. Where you know who you are you in touch with a power that depth of conviction where you have drink to inspire others to create an relate and realize that's what you do. You create an relate this happens at a very high level. It looked Norma What else happens? relationship reality check. If I It's no relationship in your life, except the one you have with yourself

Then I had a home run because that will chair every relationship that you have if I change the one that you have with yourself by giving you back in touch with that core consciousness. I want you to decide that you're, going to make a decision and accept the reality that you, determine the quality that you live. You're, not a victim trust me out, you can tell me your victim story and I'll take it apart, mine waste from Sunday. You are not a victim. You create your own reality. That's life, while seven, you could Eight, your own reality. You teach people how to reach it. Those are just givens and you have to make those party or mantra you cry, it's your own reality any teach people how to treat you. How do you Rachel reality. I said the world is reciprocal. There is reciprocity, you get

what you give. If you put out negativism, you get back negativism, you put out positive. You get back past and I want you to make a decision right now that you are right article four, the quality? You live, you know you better than anybody else, and I want you to do something for me right now. Close your eyes and do this might be done. All right now, but I want you to think back to the house, it time in your life, I don't know held your listen to this? I'm assuming you're an adult twenty plus We are thirty or forty. If you're forty five, you live sixteen thousand four hundred and twenty five days, and out of the sixteen thousand four and twenty five days I want you to think to the happiest time in your life, when you were a kid Were you eight or nine or ten was

you went to college. Was you got that first apartment on your own. My first job was it First time you fell in love with first time that you really felt like you were independent. Was it the first time that you felt like you really belonged somewhere that you were, tempted by some group of people what was the hand biggest time in your life. I want you to think back to the time if you needed to stop. But for me to think about that. Do it I want you to have happy time in your life. Few specific questions about it. So it can. The air when I was younger no. Happiest time. You're! Ok, you got that in your mind, if you hit pause for a while, it's ok, we got telling you mine. When was it specifically when one

what about it made it happiest time in your life. What was going on, you were younger, but did you feel acceptance? Did you feel powerful did you feel success? Confidence? the number one need an all. People is accepted, so I'm guessing at that time. You fail to accede. Did he felt few belonged, but what else about it see yourself at that time? what did you look like What did you wear The time that you were wearing shorts, flip flops t, shirts and going to college or its view because you were put non nice close going to work and you just purchased first new car? What was that- happiest time in your life and you ve got

able to describe why that was the happiest time. What about it? Why that time, due to some other time high, roll affects more than a hundred million Americans and is a major risk factor for heart disease. The number one cause of death in the: U S while healthily, style choices can help manage high cholesterol. That's, often not enough status, What type of medication that's proven to be safe and effective in the treatment of high cholesterol?

Take cholesterol, to heart, dot, com and talk to your doctor, about finding the right status? For you. Who can now did you buy unified that time. Assuming that it's not right. Now the net question is why did it end happiest time in your life was a time before now what changed Did you lose something did world change you change did so But he do something to you, Did you just get used to where it lost its buzzard sizzle, something up and based on results based on Ellie there was a happiest time in your life in it,

at the beginning and an end. It was the face. Maybe it lasted a month. Maybe it lasted a year. Maybe it lasted two years, but what was happiest time in your life and it's not now, which means it ended. What changed? What about you changed was taken away what was lost, what is now different and what would you have to do get back to that happiest time in your life because Let me assure you alive, very powerful reality. It will Is it about the time it was about you it was about what you perceived about that time. See we don't respond to the reality. Of the world we respond to what we say The reality of the world maybe you were twenty a new worm in me.

Can you had free expression and you were able to throw of all the boundaries in guidelines. In this fully express yourself completely em, you felt about the new head success with that. And so you felt like well, I'm really actualized here, I'm not fighting for survival. I'm not worried about security, I'm not going those motions? I'm instead? actual eyes to the point that I am in this of expression what happened, what change that and I can tell you that what changed was you changed? What about you changed? That is not necessarily a negative, I mean, maybe you decided to take, something new, but you have to decide that was

My choice: I decided to go a different path, And you have to decide when you is to pursue something and you pursuing it in a very singular way. Where it's your dream, your purpose, your journey, you after decide hey if I'm gonna be alone, I'm not a bad person. Do it with and you can only say that if you're really a good relationship with yourself. If you really know things about yourself, where you say: hey, I'm good with me, I'm happy if I need to be really, working alone here, right now or whatever I like. Ok and if I do, What goes on my to do list relationship with you has to be right, so ask yourself: was the happiest time my life in what happened Why is it not still that way?

and ask yourself, if you're, in an ongoing relationship. When was the happiest time in your relationship with, say it's your spouse, we're talking about. When was the happiest time in a relationship and what about it? made it the happiest time. Was it when you were falling in love? Was it Well, before you had, children was when you didn't, have a lot of responsibilities and bills in jail. Just what was it? What made that? happiest time in your relationship in what? about your relationship? Changed you're no longer in that phase, because with the exception, of a very short list of realities.

There is very little in a relationship. You can't fix their arson what I called drop dead deal breakers. These are things that I care. What the sick Sure circumstance around me as if these things exist there deal breakers You need to get out and get out right now. You need to hit the eject button, get out and don't look back, and I bet you want to know what they are. You can guess Number one is violence. If you're in a relationship and some one is attacking you, they are beating on you, they are choking you slapping you hitting you physically abusing you you need to begin to formulate a safe exit plan and get out as quickly as you can safely do so.

And I'm saying as quickly as you can safely do so why My saying that way, because over seventy four. Of all murders and see Serious injuries in violent relationships her in the three weeks following win, that person leaves their abuser, so you get someone its abusing you, and so you leave Next, three weeks are the most danger. This times you have ever spent without abuser unusual wait a minute, I'm not with him anymore. I understand, the next three weeks of the most dangerous time you will ever have a new relationship with that person. Why? Because abusers are controlling right, physically abusing people work and

and when you are not available for their control anymore. They panic it's what we call a frustration affect their control, their need for control, their panic, their insecurity ratchet up and they ratchet up with it, and so they get desperate and they do more deaths. Things, that's why so you need a safe exit. Planning going to Mama's house is not yet. They know where Mama live, and they will come over there and in a desperate attempt to assert their control further. That's when people get seriously hurt or killed so drop dead, deal record number one. Violence make safe exit plan and, by the way, a good place to find out what that is, is even go to win. Georgia smile, DOT, org and the wife Robin has the

buyer initiative there, which is devoted to victims of domestic violence, and there are the steps for forming a safe exit plan there. You can go to the national domestic violence Hotline and there we resources on both of those place. That will give you the information you need to know. Second, if you ve got somebody that is abusing drugs or alcohol and they reef used to get help there Gotta go now the Holocaust and they refuse to get help you're no longer living with your husband or wife. Your partner need to get out. They got out. They left you when they predicted the drugs and alcohol you're no longer living within your living with a drug altered version of them. So if they will not get help, you need to protect yourself and get out.

Not return until such a time as some independent professional tells you that they have dealt with the issue and it is safe for you to return. Those are drop dead, deal breakers. The third one is pathology, and by that I mean mental illness and our modest arguments Emma Moody here about about somebody about somebody, this idiots of idiosyncratic or you. This think they don't think the way you do so? Therefore, that's, not ok with you, I'm talking about some This has a diagnosed mental illness. They cling. Really do not have contact with reality, and they are. Doing dangerous things and they refuse to get help continue to behave in ways that put you end or your children in harm's way? Now is what I'm

telling you to abandon your partner because they have a mental illness. Absolutely not I'm telling you tube tact yourself and your children. If you are living with some one that suffers from a mental illness and refuses knowledge it and refuses to give help fort and refuses to take the steps to keep you safe. There are people that our delusional or have paranoid schizophrenia or- A that are so convinced that they are being persecuted, that they will take steps or evasive steps that can put you in harm's way. They can drive a radically, they can be The house, where catches on fire the children can't get out if you ve got some one that is really out of touch with reality? the end they refuse to get

help you must keep yourself in your children? Safe go to therapy with them, go see them in a trap of facility everyday. Do everything you can to support and stand by them, but not at the risk of your own health, safety and well being or that of your children. It's not abandoning someone to require them to get help and if your relationship is in trouble, I want you to work on you. The statistics are good for marital therapy. I'm just telling you two thirds of all people all couples get marital therapy are worse or no better after one year. Sad fact. Are worse or no better after one year. Is that because of therapist, don't know what they're doing? No? It's, because you typically don't listen. You typically don't do what they tell you to do. You're really good, while you're, sick turn the office.

Then you go home and it doesn't translate very well. That's why I say I'm not trying to fix a couple here trying to fix you we're starting with you. You can't control him or her, but you can control you. I said some of this truth you're not going to like and here's the truth you're not going to like, but it's a truth that can absolutely set you free If you are in a bad relationship, you are in a bad relationship because you set it up that way, you're in a bad relationship, because you set it up that way. You designed programmed choreographed your life, style such that there was absolutely no other possible outcome, then, for you

the generate and perpetuate a bad relationship. Now you don't need to hit replay, you dont need to back it up. You heard me right, you are in a bad relationship because you set it up that way. You programmed it where there was no other possible outcome. You actually programme you were dead in the water when you started, because you programmed it that way and I'll tell you why you cannot possibly Have anything in your life that occurs on any kind of sustainable basis that your lifestyle does not support that. Think about what I just said. You cannot have a bad relationship unless your lifestyles

trains it. You must have a lifestyle that is riddled with stress pressure, distractions paranoia chaos self defeating internal dialogue. In order to have a negative relationship and you're thinking. Well now, that's just not right. I don't believe you Look, I'm not blaming you, I'm just telling you how it is, and let me give you an example that you can use in your own life. Think of a time period in your life. Where your weight and your health eroded. Think about your lifestyle. During that time, I promise you. You were eating more exercising less and eating food. That you knew were low and nutritional value and high in fats and sugars.

And they were easily digestible. You see healthy foods have what I call high response cost like think about eating raw broccoli. Raw broccoli has a high response course right. It takes eat Sakharov. Broccoli now think about. When getting a bean burrito at a fast food place, you can it like a wood chipper. You just put it up in your it's gone. Ok, low response cost food, so you pick a time in your life, where you Put on way out of shape. You don't feel is good your lifestyle supported. You be out of shape, overweight and not feeling is good. Now, let's go to a time in your life where you're, energetic in your way to spot on, and your health is good. Your lab work is good, your energies, good, promise you, your lifestyle, supported that and

If I want to know, I can fly follow you around and predict where your headed I can follow you around for a week and tell you you continue this lifestyle a month from now. You going be: overweight outer shape, not feeling good low in energy or I can follow around for a week where your exercising eating, with some discipline, paying attention to the nutritional value of the future. And I can tell you a month from now you're gonna be feeling good, looking good, high energy and performing well, you have. To have a lifestyle that is consistent. If I can start with the outcome and worked backwards and tell you what the last I was. If I see a bad relationship, I guarantee you, I can go back and say this is a lifestyle that is full of pressure. Chaos stress

poor, sleep, etc, etc. You set it up that way. There's no way could have bad relationship. You don't have a lifestyle to support supported. You think weeds grow out of thin air. No, they don't they has to be something to support it. If a wage gonna grow, it has to have food, it has to have one it has to have sunlight. Something has to support that we'd be in there. I was in the Caribbean where a bunch of pigs live on this island, but somebody had pig there? They didn't this one day a pig pop up out of the ground there had to be pigs there than people have

feed these pigs. They had the nerve to these pigs. There has to be an environmental support system, for those pigs to exist is like there has to be an environmental support system for your bad relationship to exist and has to be a bad relationship with you. So what does that tell you? It tells you that, if we're going to do this, if we're going to improve. Your reciprocity with a world we're going to improve your interaction with the world as a social being we're going to improve your mare if you were going to improve your romantic relationship, if we're going to improve your friendships, if we're going to improve you, as a social being you ve, got to right, your game, you have to

Choir more of yourself, you have to live with dignity. You have to have respect an emotional integrity. Unless you get right with you, you will never get right with anyone else, and sometimes that means just making life decision to give you an example from my own life, if you ve known me over the last twenty years- and you know that my father was an alcoholic, a bad alcoholic, when I say bad alcoholic, I mean he drank too self destruction he died at seventy two as a sign of. Complication of orbit obesity and alcohol abuse

absolutely no question about it and because I had such a bad reaction to his drinking because I had such a zipment of his drinking and away he treated my mother when he was drinking and every It went along with being an animated alcoholic he was not an alcoholic that we came back tradition went off in a room and set thereby himself and got drunk and any sobered out. You saw him three days later. No, It was loud he was boisterous, he was animated. Thought was funny. He thought he was bullet proof he would come. Crash. Cars, motorcycle, whatever you. This was a problem for me. So we did not get along lots of conflict. And we were business together for a while.

Because my mother wanted me to really bad and I our time ever telling my mother, no because she was sweetest woman. I think I've ever met and he and I would but heads a lot and argue a lot and it would often get very animated and very heated and one day I just made a decision I'm just not gonna. Do this anymore. Just absolutely not, and I made a life decision that you know what. Is absolutely no point in us absolutely not going to do this anymore. I refuse to invest the energy to argue with. Man another day in my life and I M here to tell you from the day I made a decision He and I never had another argument from that day until the day he died and after about three weeks

he came by my office, stuck his head in and said you're, not gonna argue with me anymore or I no, I'm not, and he stood there. A minute said: ok, gotcha Inter Alia, back to his office and we never had another argument. The rest of his life, which was another for five years now I had lots of

opportunity, but I realized I don't have to react just because I can. I decided that I was going to live at a higher level and require more of myself. I did not like myself when I was engaged with him. That way, I was not living with dignity and self respect. I was not living with emotional integrity. It was not what I wanted to do, but I was doing it and I did not like it. I made a life decision and it changed my life.

The rest of your life as though there's a bomb in the room you get to the last day. Your life bomb never went off, are you gonna feel you spoke all it time want to be right and he could spend all that time be unhappy. Can you decide to be happy rather than right.
