ʚ 80/20 Rule ɞ
10:30 AM
I want to share with you guys something I read before that I believe to be really helpful and important. It's very easy to lose sight of what we want so here's a little reminder of what you already know deep down.
Generally when in a relationship you get about 80 percent of what you want. However, we are also craving that other 20 percent. We fight over it, break up over it, and complain about it. Instead of focusing on the 80 percent of things we want and are actually receiving, we focus on the 20 percent we aren’t getting. Then comes the day we meet our 20 percent. They seem perfect. They are the 20 percent we are missing. So what do we do? We naturally think this person is a much better match for us and so we break up with our current significant other. This all seems so perfect, now we have everything we’ve ever wanted, right? Nope! We only have 20 percent. The 20 percent is dangled in front of our face looking like the ideal option. We gave up 80 percent for 20 percent. Forget about that 20 percent that’s probably insignificant anyway.
