Relationship Tip Sheet

Are you, "passing" in your relationships? Do you feel as though something is missing?

Individuals who” pass” in their relationships are not being genuine. Many times people” pass” regarding race, class, gender, religion, ethnicity, education or other traits due to feelings of inadequacy. However, a major consequence of being inauthentic is not feeling fulfillment or connectedness within relationships. If we want to experience enriching, loving, fulfilling relationships we must be authentically real.

Often, we have passed for much of our lives. Therefore, we may want to learn how to genuinely accept ourselves. Only when we accept ourselves are we capable of being genuine within relationships.
