Relationship Advice: How To Regain The Best Years Of Your Life
In my work with women and relationships, I often help them through break ups. One of the most common lies I hear women tell themselves is, "I gave him the best years of my life." This is simply nonsense. The best is always yet to come, if you choose it to be.
In my work with women and relationships, I often help them through break ups. One of the most common lies I hear women tell themselves is, “I gave him the best years of my life.” This is simply nonsense. The best is always yet to come, if you choose it to be.
You may not be getting any younger, but you choose whether or not your best years are ahead of you or behind you. And by following tried and true relationship rules, you can keep yourself from wasting future years in another dead end relationship.
Many people believe that once they reach a certain age, they can’t fix the bad habits they have, like smoking, falling into bad relationships, or over eating. They become an unchangeable part of who they are, and they accept the all too often horrific consequences that go along with the bad habit. They’ll say things like, “It’s too late for me to quit smoking,” or, “I’m to old to gain back my youthful figure.”
We can choose to change our habits and brighten our future. It is never too late. An 83 year old I knew was homebound due to poor health. Those who loved him encouraged him to quit and showed him a way he could do it. He managed to quit this bad habit that he had for years. Less than a month later, he was out playing golf with his buddies for the first time in years.
Isn’t it amazing how taking action changed his life and allowed him to enjoy things again? It is possible, if one follows the necessary steps to really change. The only sad part is that he didn’t quit sooner and wasted years of his life confined to his house.
The best years of anyone’s life are not determined by age, even in relationships. A lady I know became single again. She decided to continue to find ways to enjoy her life and continue on despite her heartache. Eventually she married again at the young age of 80, mainly because of her busy life and great attitude. She and her husband have a wonderful relationship, and enjoy riding their motorcycles, of all things!
If 80 year olds are still capable of bettering their lives and even finding love, so are you. All it takes is knowing the steps necessary to make real changes, having a good attitude, and having ample support while doing so. Life really is what you make of it. You choose the best years of your life. With this in mind, the best is always yet to come.
