When you get to my age, 
you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have loved you... actually do love you!

When you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have loved you... actually do love you!

Life changes……live for the moment…… embrace & enjoy it. 

There’s not one relationship in your life that will ever stay stagnant.

Recognizing that every relationship evolves.

As you grow, as you expand, relationships will do the same.  

I often hear people say, “I’d love to go back to the way we used to be.”

That’s impossible, because the way you used to be depended on where you were.

That was 1970.

That was 2012.

Now is 2022 or 2023 soon.

You were a different person. 

So, recognize that as you evolve, as the world evolves, as humanity evolves,

as the individuals that you’re in relationships with evolve, the relationship must take a new course.  

We don’t like change, unless we’re adventurous and willing to step into the unknown.

Very few people run into the unknown, because we like to have some assurance.

We like to have security.  

And at times, relationships evolving—relationships with your children, with your siblings,

with your significant others and with yourself—can feel like the unknown.

So, it’s to allow evolution inside every relationship that you’re in.  

It’s like shoes.

You don’t try to fit a size 9 foot in a size 7 shoe.

If you do, what do you get?   Pain.  

And that’s what happens in relationships.

Just understand that relationships move, relationships are organic.

They’re not static. 

Honor, celebrate and encourage the evolution of your relationships.  

Encourage the evolution, the growth and the expansion, and all of that comes with embracing change and

allowing yourself to be parked between fluid and flexible, between grace and ease. 

That’s the reality of life!

Dr Timothy Low 刘森旺 The reality of life accords marginalised ppl more deprivation, more pain, more hardship. Often than not, they are being thrust into evolution of relationship of unsavoury outcome. It's very hard for them to embrace nor enjoy at all! Struggling thro' life's ups and downs & evolving distasteful relationships take a toil on their wellbeing. Love is fragile, & can be complex. Do you know of cases that several men actually have revealed that their wives will walk out on them when they become sickly & poorer? True love is about caring for each other, in sickness & in health. So it depends. How far-reaching & whether the evolving relationship is accompanied by disastrous conseqs or implications. Life is made complex for certain vulnerable ppl by certain nauseating ppl in their midst that throw them into mental anguish &/or emotional distress. That stepping into the unknown is unavoidable. Just get embroiled to swim & against all odds, stay afloat to grasp Justice & Equity for the Vulnerables, in particular!
