dude i always thought you were a cool guy. really. but over the last month or so i have realized you are a awesome man. thanks for sharing
Hey Russell, I suscribed to the mailing list, twice, and still haven't received one email/newsletter. And i confirmed the email twice.
What is the problem? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
favourite part of bjj?
Russel, thx for the constant deep content you create. For a mainstream media well recognized and established name I really respect you taking your own way and creating such open and honost content.
I found great peace in reading the Quran after reading into beliefs and cultures and traveling talking to many thinkers. It was a surprise for myself....but I recommend you this book.
Love your soul, all peace to you and hope to see you on the other side in a state of peace, content and with minimal regrets.
Peace
@@oddworld954 I've had the same experience. I'm assuming nothing has gone out yet.
Having being diagnosed with terminal cancer I suddenly realised how precious and fragile life is. One month in hospital and watching the nurses give so much care a sudden realisation came to me. To give service and help others, I also saw life and nature more beautiful than before. My eyes and perceptions changed when faced with death
Check out Dr Joe Dispenza.. much love to you💙🙏🏼
@@sandyd15 already doing his work for about 18 months now x
@@vanessacarter6175 Me too.. 💙 let’s keep loving.
🙏 Bless you
There is so much love in your post, Thank you. :)
In older age, I’m thinking that self-healing and creating joy in my own life is more contributing to humanity than fulfilling obligations and acts of service. To BE light and love versus DOing anything..
Word lady, word.. ♡
Absolutely. You have to recharge your own light or it grows dim and then you're not helping anyone worst of all your own quality of life is diminished.
I think the two go hand-in-hand. A balance of giving to others & also to ourselves. Feeling 'obliged' to 'serve' is different to BEing someone who receives positively from the experience of giving.
Me too, at 60 yo, I follow A Course in Miracles that says: “I am the light of the world”, as I learn to release judgement and criticism of myself and others- I become lighter- this is a gift for everyone, and I keep myself in the equation. I can only really change myself - my thoughts really... with wisdom.
@@merrykaczmarek3757 yes i like that Russell included that as being the first thing to be aware of - being of importance to your self - (rather than how can i look good /get approval /etc) from others. i have always been a very generous person , but i grew up in an abusive environment which i was still "in " because it was my family until my early 50's - only now - at age 60 faced with the fears of the lockdowns and all that stuff means - that i decided NOW i have to find balance and peace. i started meditating again - and watching Russell's vid's a year plus ago in the first lockdown - and thought well, there is what i have been needing to do. Be real, be balanced, and work at that . Now when someone lies to me or tries to take advantage i just quickly and simply say "i do not have time for those games in my life, so please go away."
I will always reach out or offer help - but - if it's not wanted or /needs conditions - then everyone must have their space yes?
I was just in your zoom call. Today I’m 6 month sober, all because I bought your book Recovery. Thank you. I have a brain injury due to alcohol and lost my career and sense of purpose so this hit the spot. Again, thank you
Keep going forward Eric. You’ve got this!
Dear Eric .well done.your courage is powerful and beautiful. You keep healing and you will get a better understanding of life.bless you.
Love it mate
💪🏽
3 years sober for me :) you’ve got this I’m proud of you
I love that Russell told his children that the kittens' needs were more important than their wants. That is difficult to do and to hear, but it's true. Putting other creatures' needs first helps us become bigger and more connected with the world.
Yes! 💯
And it makes us stronger.
"Love and be loved. All else is folly." - Tolstoy
Reminds me of a quote at the end of a Black Widow comic. "The important thing is to have lived and to have loved."
I read an article by Mark Manson.....instead of asking the question 'What is my life's purpose?' ....instead ask 'what can I do with my life that's important?'
Exactly! sometimes i see.comments like why does he has this and not me? how did they buy a house so expensive? "I bet their parents gave thek all" ... And these comments make me realize all the energy we waste in such small thinking.. instead we should concentrate on How we can Achieve such things, not just Financially but emotially aswell 😃
Sometimes it is asked:
What is important to me?
What breaks my heart?
What do i really really care about?
And, Fortune* Follows the Bold
* abundance in all areas
I like that question x
What if the answer is nothing?
@@someonesomeone25 go deeper. Ask "what can I do that makes someone else's life important. (Or better, richer, happier.. ) maybe the nothing means you are already ok. Reach out
The good thing about Russell Brand having been though addiction is that he gives you the benefit of his experience without being a smug or patronising 'convert'
I like him . . a lot
I discovered I was an artist 25years ago. My life has never been the same. I attempt to speak in a universal language in order to reach as many people from around the world as possible. Art is creative meditation it unites mind body and soul. Art helps me find balance between my internal and external worlds.
Good luck to you from an aspiring (yet weirdly ashamed) author. Are you self-taught or have you tried getting education pertaining to your craft?
@@destroyerinazuma96 I never wanted to be an artist. Until I discovered I was an artist. I did go to PNCA in Portland BFA painting 2009.
@@adolphbastendorff6212 sounds interesting. Do you mostly paint indoors or do you sometimes so sketches outside, like many painters did?
It's one thing I need to do is rid The alcohol and weed one step at a time I've come along way
Good luck on your journey ❤
me too
I hope you've made some progress.
Mankind suffer's from amnesia(deliberately ochestrated imo), we are all running around trying to figure it out. All you need to know is be considerate and be good person to yourself and all other's . That's it.
Here's my story of going from feeling like my lifes work had no value, to joyfully seeking purpose! I had a stroke and couldn't work, when I returned to work because I had a stroke I lost 20 years worth of pay increases inspite of no loss of skill. I became very depressed & yet somehow guilted into taking this! Then I broke down & could no longer suffer this injustice! In fact I had become empowered to walk away from welding, I'm not rewarding profit driven greed with my 30+ years of experience! I don't know what my next move is, but I feel like I get to keep my soul. Winning my self respect back is better than having a trade!
Helping my daughter and my sons and my grandchildren. My purpose became more evident when my husband passed away over a year ago.
I’m sorry to hear about your husband’s passing. I wish the best for you and yours. God Bless
One of greatest reliefs in my life was, to recognize, that I don't really need a purpose in life to be happy.
This has been something I have been struggling with immensely as a disabled person. I have no job, I have limited ability in life and this causes me so much purpose anxiety as you put it. I will use your words and try to find what it is I have that I can help others with. It will not be an easy task but I am trying. Thank you for your guidance in a matter that means absolutely everything to me at this point.
Be courageous.
Never ever give up
your hope.
You could start a blog writing about your struggles or anything at all. If you prefer to escape reality write some fiction. X
@@msw337 these are great ideas thank you so much 🥰
Gosh me too, I have felt this way for a while since being unable to work for a few years now. It’s so hard in our society as it is to feel we have value as we are just by existing. Finding self worth and purpose is even harder for us
My brother suffered a stroke 10 years ago which resulted in loss of work etc. I advised him to make a list of things he can still do to try and help him stop focusing on what he'd lost. Like I told him you still have all those years of knowledge of your trade and connections in it. He can run a business just not the physical labor part. I wish you all the best in your path in life. Blessed be
“The Purpose of your life is not so much about what you are here to do as how you are to do it. What you are here to do is of secondary importance. Our primary purpose is to live well, to live with passion, to learn from our mistakes and to continually expand beyond the parameters set by our minds or the minds of others” - Richard Rudd of the gene keys - would be a great guest on UTSkin!
I could put into words how fast my ego screamed "I disagree" upon reading this. At the same time, I can at least agree logically. I've been stuck for the last couple of years, unable to exercise self-care and afraid to experience and feel, because my pessimism always told me I must DO something for the world, else the bad people win. This has been affecting my family and I'm very ashamed of this. Still struggling to break negative cycles, so quotes like the one you've shared do help, thank you very much.
Amazing content from an amazing person. Why do you always seem to touch on the things that I need to hear? LOL stay amazing brother
We all feel these things at one point in our lives.
Yeah.. I relate to everything he says
I agree with all of the replies on this comment thread.
"When one does not live with purpose, they live for pleasure" ~ Me
Physically, I'm pretty much a nobody who drives an old pickup truck on dusty roads in the backcountry of nowhere.
But metaphysically, I am a space cowboy called the Lone Ranger and I have taken command of a lightship. Like the Blues Brothers I'm on a mission from god.
My "Mission Impossible" is to engage the supernova function on my lightship in order to fill a giant a**hole in space called ignorance (greed) with light (love)...so that it's darkness (misery, murder, mass shootings, suicides, war, etc.) goes away and it's heavy gravitational pull stops sucking the joy out of life.
Then life can become a celebration with joy spilling out of the smiles of everyone. Like Love (god) intended for life to be in the first place.
Because Love (god) spent billions of years creating this paradise planet lifeboat so that her miraculous works of fine art called "life" have a beautiful place to "be".
Love didn't spend so much time creating this paradise planet lifeboat to be depreciated, hated, polluted and destroyed in a brief moment by hostile alien vampires (greed) and their ignorance (hate).
Yeah! I second that!!😅👍💓💥🌠🚀
Love it :) the only part I disagree with is about hate. I think hate is just a symptom of having been hurt, and can be mended with love. For me the alien is the paradigm of structure where people are taught to have power over others/things, and homogeneity...I don't know where these concepts came from. I think we are capable of operating via paradigms of service/caretakership, empowerment and diversity instead...
Absolutely loved this text.. creative & beautiful 🤍 Really made me smile 😊
+ love on

Re-examine all you have been told, dismiss what insults your soul -
Walt Whitman
I knew at age five I wanted to be an artist, living in the deserts of Arizona in all the quietness and vastness I felt a real contact with something outside myself and inside myself. born into a drought I realized how important and precious water was for everyone. And when I had a psychotic split I was one and am one with GOD.
‘It is in giving that we receive’. That’s what my Catholic upbringing has taught me. I enjoy helping others. It’s in my nature, especially when people are in pain. My deepest source of pain however, and one I find hardest to reconcile, is when I am not supported the way I need from others during difficult times. My mum on the other hand is truly inspiring and rarely feels sorry for herself. She is able to dig down deep into her religion as a source of strength during difficult times...
And if we give and give and become dispirited, we might ask:
When did I stop singing,
Dancing,
Enjoying telling the stories of my life,
And experiencing sweet silence. . .
Remember to care so much for your own inner self too.
I Love you, I was raised Catholic too.
I hope I can take my own advice and not just fling it to you. ☺️🌸
@@merrykaczmarek3757 thanks so much!!
Wish you good Sunday love peace and happiness and joy fertility please 🙏 on you day of prayer 🙏 ❤ ♥ 💙
@@merrykaczmarek3757 respectfully, how strict are you about Catholic-specific doctrines? I'm a deist, so I believe in God and the Bible, but feel like "Catholic/Protestant/Anglican/Orthodox" are arbitrary labels and thus don't claim belonging to any Christian group.
I had a dream that you and I were eating breakfast together and just talking, having a heart-to-heart, and I felt a strong connection. Very powerful, refreshing dream!
That's great advice for people who are self-centered and separated from the source, but there are a lot of people that are the other way, full of purpose and spirit but in denial of their body and own needs, so they can't perform to help the world. When they feel good about something, they think they are being selfish. One can only find purpose when the two sides are in balance and you allow to be moved by joy instead of pain and suffering. If we all find what brings us joy (and I mean the joy that comes from the soul, not the one that comes from eating an ice cream:), if we find the joy that makes our hearts vibrate and makes our eyes burst with tears of joy, then we'll find a purpose that serves a higher good. Joy is the sign that we are doing God's work and connected to the source, so bringing to the world what is in heaven.
I almost broke my screen rushing to comment... just wanna let you know, thank you, thank you for your journey, thank you for helping others, thank you for giving me a kick up the ass all the time.
I got from this, I need to read, read a lot...
AWESOME comment! funny, too.
prioritising my life by Staying up until 2am (in Australia) just to get my daily dose of Russel Brand
We'll be staying up together!!
Russell, as someone who is feeling lost after losing so much and feeling like I am in a dead end in life, I honestly thank you for what you are doing.
What is success anyway...
It’s so subjective. Life is so beyond our understanding.
One basic grace I would love to witness is good health and happiness free from pain for all.
🌞✌️
There’s purpose for us everywhere - people in our communities that need us. Loving and caring for our neighbour and the people less fortunate than us is the greatest purpose. Jesus taught me this. :-) God bless you all!
So people more fortunate should be helping us then? If we're here to help others what are these 'others' supposed to do. Look I'm not saying giving has no place. But self enjoyment to has its place otherwise what are we helping each other for (and to do) in the first place
@@randybackgammon890 This was a really out-the-box way of looking at it, but logically on point at the same time. I love this comment.
@@117Industries Thanx, though I'm fast coming round to the view that Russell is suffering from a kind of intellectual giganticism.If that makes any sense
@@randybackgammon890 'Gigantism' dude. Yeah, I get you. I wonder you know. Having a successful soapbox on here has to bloat you ego right?
I also agree about the enjoyment one needs to experience. And not everyone gets fulfilment from "helping others" anyway. Or at least not if that's all they do. For example, I need to do competitive things, focused things, physically taxing and brutal things, and to be part of a larger body of disciplined people in order to feel fulfilled. So the armed forces then. But it has fuck all to do with helping people. And why would I help people if I didn't feel fulfilled? Why would I even live?
One of my purpose is avoid the rat race
I love the analogy with the kittens. It’s not important what the child wants, but what is best...
Our purpose as humanoids is to unite humanity with The One Groove. This is the foreseen epiphany coming to our planet!! Groovism is the belief in the power of music to bond us instinctively!
Watch Alan Watts, 'if money were no object'.
I am struggling with the question as to what my purpose is. I have been many things in my life: husband, father, lawyer, spiritual seeker, lost lamb, etc….. but now I find myself at a point where I simply do not know what to do. Thank you, Russell, for putting these videos out there for us to digest. I appreciate it and am amazed by your ability to construct the messages so well.
The time right now is not helping l really struggle to with lack of purpose. Take care
I am in that same position. I am trying to figure it out. I think a lot of people are as well.
There are more people that are struggling with purpose than you can imagine right now.
@@gregrichey840 Have you worked out that the covid thing were really about depopulation, full control of the population that's left and all the other aspects of this Great Reset agenda that's being pushed. I've struggled to believe how evil this Klaus Schwab and others can be to the rest of mankind.
@@steveclark.. that may have been part of it for some but I personally believe they need more people to keep all of their various ponzi schemes they have run on us for decades going.
I believe many of the Central planner types like Klaus Schwaub see the writing on the wall. The population decline is a huge problem for them so they want to return us to Neo Feudalism. What Klaus Calls stakeholder capitalism. You will own nothing and like it.
They need and want totalitarian control
I do not believe they will be successful though.
Too many people are asking too many questions.
Klaus and the WEF crowd are already hard at work planning the next event to force you into a digital ID. For the greater good of course.
We will see how that goes. Past History would point to Nations around the world returning to Nationalism.
The track record of central planners is pretty pathetic.
My purpose is to stop the wrongs and make them right. I have met source. I have died and was sent back for important matters. Yes I spoke to source! I was given information. I continue to receive information. My knowledge of this planet and understanding of diminsional connection, has grown far reaching. We must protect those who cannot protect them selves. We must protect our natural resources. We must see all big corporate people as they truly are. In this life for themselves. Narsist with no Empathy.
Initially I believed my purpose was to bring joy to others through entertainment, but as I grow older, I realize true joy comes from within, and I have more to offer in the way of helping to solve challenging problems that impact society, and hopefully inspire others to lead lives of positive impact and influence.
The first 60 seconds of this video described perfectly how I'm feeling at the moment. Without meaning I feel Lost and I constantly look for external gratification
You are doing an excellent job Russell and we can feel that you are living your purpose !!!
cool cahnnle name , im trying to remember what he was intially famous for i think he was in some raunchy movie but i cant recall what else
Ultimately, realizing the meaning of life is not a static accomplishment of community fact, but a dynamic universal question of personal focus. This focus mostly involves the ecology of an environment we re-inhabit during each fresh awakening.
Damn, I almost caught the tip of my tail this time!
My personal experience with life. With of Grief...comes depression....with depression....comes spiritually ✨️ it's a long slow process but I believe you have to go through so many steps to find peace ✌️ 🙏
Thanks Russell 🙏 I’m currently sober as of 2 months, yet again, and I’ve been establishing/ reestablishing a connection with communities, new friends, and myself for the last 2 years I’ve been fighting this battle. I definitely have my bad days and am feeling quite derailed at the moment, but my spiritual family, sobriety, and willingness to do better has brought me many gifts and new insights. I know the work myself, and others are doing, will create a brighter future. 🌧 ⛅️ 🌞 🌈 🌟

This is absolutely what I needed to hear. I'm struggling with the feelings of failure and inadequacy. I have lived a life with accomplishments but they feel empty and meaningless.

I appreciate the information and enlightenment that you provided here and I look forward to learning more. Thank you for overcoming your difficult life situations and sharing your knowledge with us.

“It is important to abandon yourself to something higher” - Russel Brand, you just defined Islam without realizing it. Everything you just talked about will tie together perfectly when you study Islam and you will think where was I from this all of this time. You are an intelligent and honest man.
Not many youtubers say don't hit the notification button unless your really into this.
Speaks volumes.
Just love you as a human. I’m in pretty constant appreciation of your journey and your contribution to popular culture, particularly during these times. Thanks Russ.
yes he makes good points , my twinsie, i thought i had been turnt of by something he said buti cant remember what sim back here enjoying and absorbing
Very fitting shirt for the times we're living in
Looks a bit small to me.
And the necklace too
Amazora Official i was thinking the same .
I had to take a double take. I was thinking the same thing. We are being segregated as we speak and morons dont see it but think its totally ok. Just insane. Exactly how nazies did it. Using media to blacklist race and religion or medical using lies
Purpose of life is to give. To be human toward each other, all you need is love...
Find purpose in doing whatever you are doing brings joy. Russell-your last statement is so correct- Serving others is spot on!
This is one of the best videos that I have ever watched. I’m really lost right now but I’m trying to find the right path. Thank you so much Russell.
im kinda lost too. I hope you find what your searching and try to enjoy the ride!
There is no "purpose" in life. And this realization is only painful for the wrong self. Maybe this leads to the answer of the most burning question: Who am I?
I can relate to this and sometimes I have to just get out in nature.
You are an infinite being living a finite human experience :) be kind to yourself and enjoy what you can.
You're awesome and I'm proud of you
How does this video have under 1 million views , in a broken society this says a lot about the culture
I keep thinking as I have got older ..what is my purpose in life ...why am I here .I can't say I have ever been truly happy and with myself .
You are so refreshing, your ideas, I mean!

Hard to believe that such a smart and wise man was married to Katey Parry at one time. Married in India on a elephant or camel, I forget. Thank God, Russell, you saw the light and changed. Thank you for that.
People, our purpose is to serve.. serve God.
Thank you for being you Russell ❤
Russell is simply a wonderful person! Thank you for being here with us in these difficult times.
Abandon yourself to something higher. I love that.
Thank you! I asked for guidance on whether I should pursue Vastu again and your Video gave me the Spiritual answer I needed to hear. Vaastu in a Structural sense is an ancient form of Architecture using Sacred Geometry that produces a Vibrant Energy within the structures promoting Health, Happiness and Prosperity to the indwellers. You may know it as Maharishi Sthapatya Veda. The planet needs to have more of these Buildings to live and work in to help raise our consciousness. One day you may interview me on the subject. lol. You are right, we need to find a purpose to help move the the Planet forward and now its time for me to share mine. Cheers Russell!
0 dislikes now that’s what im talking about brothers and sisters, love you all ❤️
I really love your posts on this channel. Even as a senior, I have trouble sometimes figuring out what I’m about or what I’m supposed to be about. Thanks so much!
Give your life to the good of all sentient beings, the best meaning of life.
From what I have realized service to others is what will create purpose and balance within oneself. It's not all about what can I give/do for me... example; Where am I lacking? We're too focused on me, me, me. Service will give one a wonderful balance, as well a sense of purpose. There are so many teenagers/youth right now that need loving guidance. Donating your time to the youth who will become our future is so valuable. If people want purpose? This is a great sense of purpose, a great place to start in service to others, 3 hours a week to start. There's so many children who really needs to have someone to look up to nowadays more than ever. That little bit of time that one might give. Wiuld really make a difference in that child/teenagers life.
In doing this valuable service you are creating such a huge and beautiful ripple effect. Not only those lives that you influence. But you also affect those around you that watch and are learning from your actions.
Tremendous to be here with You • All • Thank You Russell Brand ⚘
Needed this today 😅😅🖤🖤👽👽
Love it all! Thank you! 🤗
thank you for this 💛
I couldn't agree more with the hemorrhaging life force when you've no meaning. The whole beginning of my life was a chaotic explosion of life force being forced unconciously to application to survival and addiction. I'm hoping to spread what I've learned as much as possible and I am in awe of everything you've done. My living conciously with awareness had already begun when I started watching your vids but you led me to other spiritual teachers that gave me the tools to put certain concept much more eloquently. Keep doing what you do. I feel so lucky to be here in every way.
Why do you feel the need to spread what you have "learned". That path leads to confusion. You will meet others. Some may need a bit of guidance, not teaching. Others may help you. Ultimately you can find knowledge from those you help and those that help you will also find knowledge.
shaughan gould one of the best ways to learn is to teach.
@@shaughangould2647 why do you feel the need to express yourself... ?
Because communication is learning
@@ruthfourie7499 I don't disagree however I would prefer 'guide' rather than teach. As a guide you will also learn. A teacher in the conventional sense isn't expected to learn from 'students'.
@@margaretgill4330 not sure what your point is. Learning comes from helping others. If you aren't learning as you help others or if others aren't learning as they help you then something is not right. Do you believe I am being overly critical of RB? What really IS can be found within. Looking externally makes your path harder. It cannot be taught. It can however, be learned
Would love to hear you talk about the concept of being content and if it’s better than happiness.
Congrats on your new channel 😌
Thanks Russ!
Thanks Russel. Was having a bad day with unhelpful people ...Thanks now I'm seeing an breathing clearly....................ahhhhhhhh

Dude I needed this so bad.

Thank you for this.
Wow Russell this analysis is amazing! 👏
George Harrison: When you see beyond yourself you may find peace of mind is waiting there.
Been having a hard time with having connections. Had very close friends when I was young but then graduately started drifting apart and never really had a close friend since then, still don't and I have been trying and I seen my progress but still feel absolutely hopeless and nihilistic in moments like this. My pproblem is actually making and having friends, I don't know how to and my nihilistic view doesn't always make me a pleasant person to be around.
Maybe start with being your own friend first and then expressing that feeling. Love yours
Some advice that worked for me was: be friendly with everyone presently around me and create lots of little connections (even if I'm not all that interested in them). This will open up to connecting with others. Instead of looking for a perfect friendship, focussing on creating differing degrees of connections with those already around me.
lightawake great advice. Everything starts with small steps.
Same here. The profound hopelessness after finally giving up and now trying to reverse that at 57 feels overwhelming and too late . Conventional treatments not helping. It feels infinitely worse when my sister tries to help but gets so frustrated because I'm not making progress. I'm not doing this on purpose. Its insidious and just kept getting worse over the years even when I tried to change it and had some hope left.
Try shrooms
I'm so here for this Russell. ❤️
Incredible! ✨

Thank you for this amazing summation!!
Really needed to hear that feeling very anxious
My whole family, in laws included are so tired of me asking these questions. Why were we born into a life we didn't ask for, why were we born without a clear purpose, how does consciousness flows through into our world and ourselves?
You did ask for it. You just don't remember.
We are going to die. And we dont know when, i can die in 1 year. So them making all those questions makes no sense
God created us and He has a purpose for your life, learn about Jesus Christ and seek him with all your heart and you will find Him and get the answers to your questions
The purpose is to love. You need to help people no matter who it is. There is someone out there that does nit have the capabilities that you do and need you and want to be thankful that you have helped them. Be content I helping and stop being lazy.
@@painintheknee1209 you have the best answer that personal resonates, thank you. I agree with increasing my gratitude in my attitude. I appreciate your your wisdom and advice.
How can one be of service in romantic relationships? Often the nearest to us feels the sharp end of our anger and frustration. How can we change the perspective from one of an, let’s say, occasional dart board, to one of deep understanding and continuous growth? ♥️
Great question; I'm not sure either but I wonder if it's about seeing the relationship as an opportunity to work further on yourself and you as a couple walking the same journey (develop unconditional love for self and all, connection with others etc) rather than just find comfort from one another. Same with children - I feel like they are great reflectors showing opportunities for growth.
Me and my partner made a huge shift in our relationship when we fully committed to becoming a multicellular organism. Talking about this concept helped guide us to talk about stuff and begin seeing eachother as a unit and what needed to happen to make that unit strong. we established a mutual understanding that there was no me vs him, that what was good for each of us is what’s best for the multicellular organism. What we do to eachother we do to ourselves. This made us kinder and more compassionate. the commitment also just helped us be less petulant and more mature about grievances, being self aware about how our moods are affecting our ability to communicate or perceptions etc.
I love this question! I was in a long term relationship of 20+ years and now looking back in reflection I feel I understand better where it fell apart. The traditional saying was behind every great man is an even greater woman. To modernise this saying and give a broader perspective to it, I feel it should be; behind every successful relationship Is the willingness give selfless support to another person in such away that it enriches both of your lives. Love is the word that describes what is essentially an action. We can say that we love someone a million times, unless it is backed up by an action that makes the other person feel loved, then it still remains just a word.
Excellent!
