Keep Your Love On: ConnectionSample

Day 7

In each of your relationships, you should ask, "Is my goal to create a safe connection or a safe distance?" Pursuing the goal of connection will bring you right up against the real conflict that lives at the core of every relationship. It is a spiritual battle drawn between the two most powerful forces that drive you – fear and love. If you want to be a powerful person, capable of intimate relationships, then it is absolutely vital that you learn how these forces operate and align yourself with love.

• How safe do you feel when you are connected to someone you love? What is this safety based upon?
• How are you doing in protecting those you love when they have been vulnerable with you?
• Have you ever moved toward someone when they hurt you instead of running away? What happened as a result?
