Being able to love is something you have to have within yourself. The three dimensions of passion, intimacy and commitment will continually take great work to continue a growing relationship; it is not a given in yourself or with whom you chose to love. Many miss the opportunity to experience such a love because they fail to realize it takes work. You can have the passion in the relationship; which is more the desire to want to be with that person, and you can have the intimacy of the relationship; which is the feelings of being close to someone, but if you do not have the commitment in the relationship then there is no foundation to build on. The commitment is where the two of you made a decision to love one another and maintain that relationship.
Sacrifice was something that I had to learn to tolerate when returning to school. Spending time with my family became less of a benefit that I once enjoyed and that many take for granted. Sleep deprivation and personal time was also something that returning to school had an impact on. Study habits are difficult to maintain and focus, due to my children wanting my attention non-stop. My parents support in this process has been a blessing as they’ve taken much of the burden therefore providing peaceful nights and lessening some of the stormy days.

Understand that your grades could be in jeopardy if you don’t manage your time correctly, because without a doubt the manager will probably ask for you to stay later. Knowing your options and really looking into them never hurts, and could restore the issue of homework being done because other places don’t have the demand as much as a Mcjob does for more workers. Michele closes with a statement from Prof. Bishop, “The goal is to not get kids to stop working, its to get
One major theme in Kindred is adapting to difficult situations, and many of the characters must do this, with a varying degree of acceptance. When Dana accidentally takes Kevin back in time with her, she warns him that she may not be able to bring him back but thinks, “If he was stranded here for years, some part of this place would rub off on him…if he survived here, it would be because he managed to tolerate the life here” (77). Their conversation foreshadows when Kevin is in fact stuck in the past and does adapt well enough that he has trouble after he returns home. Another character who must tolerate an objectionable situation is Alice, Dana's ancestor and the slave woman that the master, Rufus, chooses to be his sex slave. After Rufus kills her husband and takes her as his mistress, Alice, “Couldn't bring herself to run away again or to kill him and face her own death.
When life seems to be at it's most stressfull, I try to practice slowing down, and finding thoughts that bring me back to a place where I can be calm. Another lesson my grandfather taught me about life was, that it was okay to accept help from others. I will admit at times he was very stubborn about accepting help himself, yet he was always happy to have someone by his side to help him along the road. I often think back about all the wonderful times I would have missed with my grandfather had he been in a hurry. I would never have heard so many wonderful stories, and I wouldn't have learned many of the life lessons that he taught and shared with me.
New beginnings also meant bidding farewell to parts of my life and, as always, you had taken the time to write a few words to help me along the way. “If I knew being here with you today would mean being alone tomorrow, I would gladly trade all of my tomorrows away for a moment here with you” resonated as an anthem to appreciate the time spent every day with loved ones, as there was no way to go back and retrieve my “tomorrows” (Brown Eyed Blues, Harper). But life was not only about struggling and moving on, and “Mama’s Trippin’”, “When It’s Good”, and “Steal My Kisses” served as the perfect reminder to enjoy the silly moments. It was important to remember that “when it’s good, it’s oh so good, but when it’s gone, it’s gone” kept me grounded and appreciative of all the good days (When It’s Good,
When I started my placements I was daunted by the prospect of having to contain clients with either avoidant, ambivalent or disorganised affects. Despite that and with time, I found it possible through practice and theory to improve my awareness of my process. Unfortunately the short term model does barely enable scratching the surface in this respect, I am intrigued with clients who say that they had a good childhood but they would be unable to articulate what that meant to them. Some clients are more psychologically minded than others, and six or twelve sessions is relatively a short time to enable this exploration after building a good working relationship. For example it might be helpful to be a nurturing parent, who is responsive and reliable, and work to create the space for a cooperative relationship.
Friendship is a great and essential part of modern life. It offers escape from annoying family and awkward social positions. A true and good friend will help someone get through their difficulties with compassion and love without judgement. In A Separate Peace the main characters, Gene and Phineas, claim to be good friends, however, there are events that come to pass that make both the characters and the readers rethink that status. No one should be without a friend, this world that we live in today makes it near a requirement.
It is especially difficult when lies and misdeeds are kept from each other. Whith honesty there is a good chance that you can work things out, as honesty proves you are willing to work on things. However, lies on more lies do nothing to better relationships. Self disclosure is important in a relationship and is directly related to satisfaction in your relationship. You can be in a relationship for years and still
