You are finally coming around to understanding the true scope of the work you have to do today at your job, in a romantic partnership, or in a friendship. This sudden realization could overwhelm you, but it doesn’t have to. The soldier in you knows that you can do this! No task is too tough for you, especially if you are humble and honest about how you’re feeling. Reach out to the other person (or people) involved in this task and get them to contribute to the solution.
What they say about all work and no play just doesn’t apply to you right now. You’re likely to be exceptionally involved with career matters, yet you’re getting lots of attention while you’re at it.
You can be right some of the time, but no one (not even you) can be right all of the time. Let go of the idea that you always have all the answers and this relationship will get much easier and sweeter.
You may feel like you’ve lost everything, but you’re mistaken. You need to do what you can to defend what you still have. That doesn’t even count what matters most, like your relationships.
