My LB (line brother) is attending law school this fall and I'm remembering all he had to do to prepare. Long LSAT study hours after work, re-taking the LSAT to get a better score, declining happy hour invitations, declining birthday party gatherings, and even declining the occasional stroll practice. All of the things he had to decline, momentarily, were all in preparation for what his heart truly desired.
I started thinking; what things do we decline in order to prepare for what our heart truly desires? In the likes of law school, the grueling part is not always deciding you want to go, but what you do after your mind is made up. In preparation for what we truly desire in relationships, what things are we declining in order to bring about a better outcome? Do we still act the same in a relationship as we would if we were single? In order to truly have what your heart desires, there will have to be somethings that you decline in your life in order to be prepared for all that a relationship brings. What do you need to decline? That's up to you! You know you better than anyone else does, but let me remind you; you will have to decline some things in order to have a better chance at a fulfilling relationship. To all my law students preparing for the fall semester; I commend your sacrifice. May your efforts be contagious and pass on to all those around you.
