“She didn’t wish me on my birthday.”
So what?

“He’s always getting upset over small small things.”
Samajh le yaar.

“She never calls my mom.”
Don’t take it personally man, that relationship is a work in progress.

“He takes no responsibility for household work. I have to do everything.”
You cannot force responsibility on him. His priorities are different from yours.

“Look at how much weight she’s putting on my eating the junk she eats.”
Hey ask yourself – what is that junk a replacement for?

“But Milind, I’m done with this man. He’s made my life horrible.”
No you’re not. If you were really done, you would have left him by now (and that’s ok).

My clients often hear me saying, “Love them or Leave them”.
But then if you leave them, the things you are complaining about will anyway chase you in a different pair of trousers!

Every relationship is like a class in progress. If you run away from the classroom, the class continues somewhere else. And the class is not done until you’ve learnt your lesson.

You can leave bosses, colleagues, relatives, friends.
You can even leave your husband, your wife, your siblings.
And how do you leave your parents and children, may I ask?
Do you get a new set because it’s too difficult to love the existing ones?

Love is not rocket science.
It is just inconvenient.
It is a hell of a lot of hard work.

I think God, Bhagwan, Allah knows that.
But it is a cosmic lesson he (or is it she) chose for YOU.
It is a privilege you have as a human being.

Your ability to LOVE is your greatest blessing.
USE IT.
And use it ESPECIALLY where you don’t feel like using it.
Then I will say to you, “Kya baat hai boss, YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY!”

P.S. As I evolve as a Life Coach year after year, I become more and more blunt. It shows in my posts. You too can love me or leave me. (I’m sure many people do both).
But you see it’s your love for me and my love for you which got you to the end of this post. So tell me.. how can I ever leave you? Tell. Tell.
