Oh, come on! Since when did they teach you that 1+1 is 1??!!
It was a hot sunny Barcelona afternoon, and I was chatting with my friend Tim. Freshly divorced, I asked him, what are the three lessons learnt to share.
I will share one today to give each its importance.
#1 – Investment vs better half
You often hear – I found my other half. “He encontrado mi media Naranja” (I found my other half orange).
Wait a minute! I am not a half person. I am complete. I want to bring the best of me, why would I want to half it?!
Think of an investor. No smart investor takes in half valued project and covers the other half. Instead to fully add and make it a bigger investment.
The same goes for a relationship. I bring forward my full self into a partnership, not half of myself. So I never want to hear “I found my other half” nor “He encontrado mi media Naranja” ever again!
After all, maths says that 1+1 is 2! and two is better than 1. Are you only half when you are in a relationship?
Next #2 – Prioritise comfortability
