Love is what's left over when falling in love fades away.
I'm listening to hay house radio and just heard this profound statement by Wayne Dyer. He says that the person you are with now will not be the person you are with 25 years from now because we all change, every minute of every day. Are you the same person you were many years ago? Thankfully, I am not. Every moment is a chance to change.Someone misunderstood what I was trying to say in this post. I was not trying to say that you could not be with the same person for 25 years or even longer but....that the person you are with no matter how long you are with them will not be the same person (mentally and emotionally) that they were when you met them as they are many years later because people are constantly changing. Hope that clears things up.
Im so thankful that we are constantly transforming. Im glad Im not the same person I was in previous years.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm nope Im not either and thats a very wise comment! One of the great things about gaining age is also gaining wisdom!....Change is also good...good for all of us!
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone's always changing. But I don't think I agree with the statement about who you're with now not being who you'll be with in 25 years because of this. That may be the case for some people, but plenty of people last a lot longer than that. Think of those people who have been happily married for 50+ years. Also, sometimes the reason you're not with the same person after x amount of years is because of something completely different (e.g. death of one of the people). Not to mention the fact that - since we're all changing - it's possible that your partner could be moving in the same direction as you with their changes, meaning that you'll both not really notice the change in each other. If you know what I'm trying to say there.
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah, I agree that we're all changing all the time as we go through life. But I don't agree that this will mean you're not with the same person in 25 years time, because the chances are good that you will still be with said person.
Hi Celtic Spirit.... Its very true about the love, but if your love is so true you still hope for the best outcome.... Yesterday I was watching a movie which is about a love and movie is very deep in thought of love and its describe a love in silence, sacrifice and one person can love someone without any expectation of getting back love from another.It was very emotional movie.. Love stays forever but person changes.
ReplyDeleteLove! I think that for most of us we fall into love which means we are connected physically, spiritually, emotionally and sexually with another. As time goes on we are NOT going to be the same person we were nor will the one we fell into love with. It opens a door for discussion as to the posibility that if I am still physically and sexually attracted to the other what do I do to have my spiritual needs met if the other is no longer meeting that need and it also implies the same for sexual involvement. To this end is polyamory an option? Or are couples doomed to let the changing (i.e., "growing") part of their personal life simply die by not having that need met? Thanks for reading. Kevin Glen

Okay, Barb. This is coincidence, I guess. I'm rereading a Louise Hay book this week--about healing. Have you ever heard of Carolyn Myss? I read her books, too, and have even talked to her on hay house radio when I called in once! How about that!
ReplyDeleteEveryone grows and changes. We would die if we didn't. Thank God we don't stagnate by being stationery.
I just now looked at the pictures of Anardarko. They really took a hit. Too too bad. D
I hope you and Russell enjoy the love you have (its obvious to all that read your blog) for a great many years.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think someone did misunderstand you...Thankfully I am not the same person I was 18 years ago when we married...I do not believe we would still be married if I was...though he was in love with me 18 years ago I don't think he could have continued to love me the way I was then...
