“Sometimes as we become more healthy and clear, our relationships become more healthy and clear. Or at least the more dysfunctional aspects of them are no longer repressed, and therefore we get the opportunity to see if they can transform into something more healthy, loving, and sane.
This does not mean, however, that they will transform, only that they will have the opportunity to do so. When we get more clear and less reactive, we are a more open invitation for relationships to evolve. But the evolution of any relationship requires both parties to be ready and willing to evolve.
The truth is that some relationships will evolve and others may not. But the more clear and less reactive that we are, the more clear it becomes where and when to set healthy boundaries. The more clear we become, the less we are willing to be a doormat for someone else’s bad behavior.
Love needs the fierce clarity of wisdom, and wisdom needs the open receptivity of love. And both wisdom and love need each one of us to embody them and bring them into manifestation through our humanity.”
