​For every pattern you recognize within yourself, understanding how that pattern enhances or diminishes your creative power, your flow of energy through the layers of your being, is very useful. Codependency is a way of being in the world, in your relationship to others, to yourself, and in your relationship to the situations of your experience that has significant impact on your energy flow, on how you direct the life pulse of your creative being to manifest your personal reality. 

The deliberate creator’s approach to managing relationships involves recognizing where people are and accepting them for where they are in their personal evolution. Most of the tension you feel in relationships comes from resisting how people are showing up and from denying the reality of who they’ve already shown you they are. Seldom do people show you their wholeness and still center but rather live and lead from their learned and constructed versions of self-ness.
