Transformation occurs through acceptance. Once you accept the current situation it will automatically transform.
When it comes to your relationship with others, building trust and intimacy is a process. Practice leads to results, for repetition develops skills. Just as you engage in a dance with a partner, leading and following, stay present in the moment, listen to signals and cues and being clear about what you need and desire. Yes, toes will get stepped on here and there, but it is how you and your partner deal with the inevitable missteps that allow you to develop a closeness that can stand up to even the biggest challenges. Practice and soon it will be second nature to express yourself in relationships in ways that reflect your highest aspirations for how you want to show up for others and what you want to experience. Cultivate love through practicing being loving.
