Life always teaches us valuable lessons through the experiences we go through provided we are willing to listen . These experiences help us grow as individuals, shaping our identity, thoughts, beliefs, priorities, likes and dislikes. The values instilled by parents largely influence the thoughts and beliefs of the members of family but as they venture into the outside world meeting new people, embracing new environments their perspectives also change.
Individuals realise that they no longer relate to each other because of the transformation in their perception of life. This is the time when relationships tend to fall apart and conflicts arise due to differences. People become judgemental and start criticizing, instead of understanding and supporting each other. Familial ties weaken and the unconditional love which a family is supposed to give gradually withers away.
The secret to maintaining healthy relationships in this ever-changing world is Acceptance. All we need to do is to acknowledge each other’s needs and perspectives, respecting each other for the choices they have made and the path they have chosen. We all can grow together, only when there is mutual love and respect.
Growing together or growing apart is always a choice one has to make . If you are struggling with relationships, pause for a moment and ask yourself, are you growing together or growing apart?
