Feeling In Love Comes and Goes?
Summary
- Respect in a partnership is more constant than fleeting emotions like feeling in love.
- Even in tough times, if you're with someone of great character, you'll feel proud to be with them.
- Most of life is not romantic; it's filled with work, friends, errands, stress, and family.
- Evaluate the respect and pride you feel for your partner, even outside the romantic moments.

How To Take Action
I would suggest that if you're in a business partnership, remember that being in love with the idea can change, but respect for your partner stays strong. Just like in a relationship, if your partner has great character, you feel proud even when times are tough. So always work with people you respect.
A good way of finding the right business partner is to think about how you feel about them outside the exciting moments. Most of your time won't be celebrations; it will be hard work, meeting friends, doing chores, and handling stress. Pick someone you'll feel proud to stand by during those regular days.
If you're growing personally, evaluate the people in your life the same way. Spend time with folks you respect, not just those you have fun with. This way, even when life isn't exciting, you're surrounded by people who make you feel proud.
For entrepreneurs, focus on building relationships based on respect, not just passion for the idea. This can be low-cost but brings high value. You're not always going to be in love with your business, just like a partner. So work with people whose character you admire. This will help you through tough times.
Lastly, remember your business and personal growth are not constant adventures. There will be mundane tasks and stressful days. Choose partnerships that make even those days feel important because you respect the people you're with and what you're doing together.
