You could find yourself losing patience with a partner today. Relationships, of any kind, are often unpredictable. They can go up, down and side to side. If you catch yourself second guessing things, take a deep breath and remember why you came together in the first place. If you take a minute to talk it out or think it through, you might find that the stress melts away with the frustration.

Today’s Soul Advice: Sometimes we stick with something that isn’t working because we can’t bear the thought of having wasted our time and energy for nothing. It is okay to not want to “give up.” But when you take your best shot at something, it’s never a waste nor a defeat. It takes bad experiences to really appreciate the good ones. So, next time something isn’t working out, try saying to yourself, “I must have needed that!” and give yourself permission to move on. You can use what you learned to grow and nail it next time.
