When Achievement Is No Longer the Highest Expression of Your Power

Love is not simply being agreeable.

Love is the courageous conversation.
Love is a boundary.
Love is the willingness to ask another person to meet you with greater commitment.
Love is refusing to carry what belongs to someone else.

This becomes particularly consequential within intimate relationships.

A relationship cannot sustainably expand through the effort of one person alone. If the relationship is to evolve, both people must participate in its evolution.

Emotional investment matters.
