Right attitude

I was chatting to a friend the other day who said that she and her husband were going their separate ways. I was amazed as they seemed to be the perfect couple.

Outside pressures had become too much for her husband and he felt he could no longer cope. I won't go into further detail here as it is not relevant.

This particular lady had a wonderful way in which to look at her predicament; she said that she felt lucky for the years which they had spent together, that she appreciated that each were on their own path and that it was now time to part and grow in different ways. She loved him and wished him luck and happiness in everything he did. She looked forward to her own growth, development and learning as well.

As much as i felt sorry for her, i agree that her attitude is right. The world be a better place if everyone parted on good terms, and with such a positive outlook, rather than animosity or trying to outfox one another. Yes, less dramatic to bystanders, but less traumatic to the people involved.

The conclusion i have is that each one of us has own particular brand of outlook in life. Temperament and personality are natural, yet i believe they can be adapated or changed if you want.

Don't for forget also that our life experience also plays a part in how we grow and develop.
