The Little Black Book

(Thoughtful Messages by Gregg Hoops on Face Book and MySpace)

Have you had a little black book?
Now days it's most likely just a list in your cell phone of names and numbers of men or ladies in your life you can call to allow you to fulfill a need you are missing to surpass your urge, your frustration or loneliness.

When a person moves forward in one’s life we often have to leave things of our past behind allowing us total attention to what lies ahead of us instead of what we can run back too.
If you hold on to your little black book it will eventually become a crutch holding you back from life’s progression of complete and utter happiness.
Do you feel that if you are in a relationship with someone it is fair to hold on to your book?
Is it fair to the person you are with not to know that you have the opportunity within your reach to ruin everything you have worked for in this relationship?
Would you allow your partner to carry their black book around with them?
Is it fair to the people on your list to hold onto them so tightly that they cannot move forward in their lives knowing that the possibility is always there that you may still call them?
Trust is a factor in relationships that cannot be broken. If the trust is broken the relationship becomes tainted. Doubt remains the key that most often causes weakness in the seemingly strongest bond between a man and a woman.
If you want to be trusted unconditionally then you yourself need to learn how to trust unconditionally.
Friends of the opposite sex in most relationships are often confusing and more often cause jealousy.
Why would you want jealousy to be a factor in your relationship?
Love is blinded by many things, once the eyelids of love are opened wide many other factors come into to play, again leaving some couples confused and frustrated to its true meaning.
When Doubt surfaces we tend to seek outside advice concerning our relationships instead of facing your partner with the issue at hand.
Although outside help is not always a bad idea and can be very helpful, we tend to take opinions of others instead of what your relationships true needs are.
Talk to the one you love. Tell them your secrets and allow the trust to build a bond that nothing can break no matter what you are faced with.
Together your bond is strong and you as a couple are the only ones that can keep that bond from breaking.
Team work is always the key to success.

So next time you’re looking through your little black book ask yourself if it is really what you need in your life and how your other half would feel if they found out you still kept those names and numbers.
Be honest with yourself and most of all be honest with the one you say you love.

After all it's only the right thing to do, and if you cannot be honest with them then love them enough to let them go find someone that will be, because after all doesn't everyone deserve that chance?
