#415 - Why 'Good' Is the Enemy of 'Great' in Relationships
Let me ask you something uncomfortable...
Have you ever stayed in a relationship longer than you should have—not because it was amazing, not because it lit you up, but simply because it was... good enough?
Safe.
Familiar.
Maybe even comfortable.
But not great.
If that hit a nerve, keep reading. Because what I’m about to share could be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.
When we’re young, we chase passion, chemistry, excitement. But somewhere along the way—especially after divorce, heartbreak, or years of dating disappointments—we start lowering the bar. We tell ourselves:
- "At least they’re not toxic."
- "It’s better than being alone."
- "I should be grateful someone decent is interested in me."
That mindset? It’s how you end up stuck in a relationship that’s fine... but slowly drains your spirit.
If you’re a midlife single, I want you to hear this loud and clear:
You didn’t come this far to settle.
And I know you want more. Not because you're picky or unrealistic—but because deep down, you know you're meant for something extraordinary.
Here's where I come in.
I've worked with midlife singles for over a decade. People just like you. Divorced. Widowed. Battle-tested by life. And I guide them to stop settling for 'good enough' and start building the kind of relationship that ignites their soul.
Let me show you how.
Step One: Acknowledge the Trap
When a relationship is "good," it's easy to ignore your instincts. You don't ask the tough questions because you don't want to rock the boat. You silence that quiet whisper that says, "This isn't it."
But here's the truth: good is seductive because it's safe. It feels easier to stick with what you know than to risk the unknown. But that safety comes at a cost.
You stop growing. You start settling. And worst of all, you block the path to something great.
Step Two: Recognize That Fear is Running the Show
Fear of starting over. Fear of being alone. Fear of hurting someone else's feelings.
Sound familiar?
Fear keeps you from letting go of what's okay to make space for what's incredible.
Great relationships require courage. And if you want different results, you have to make different choices. That starts with being brutally honest about whether your current relationship—or your dating patterns—are actually serving you.
Step Three: Choose Growth Over Comfort
Great relationships challenge you. They inspire you. They grow you.
They’re not built on routine or convenience. They're built on shared values, emotional intimacy, intellectual connection, and spiritual alignment. They're built by two people who are all in.
But none of that is possible if you're still clutching onto a relationship that "isn't that bad."
I know it’s hard to let go. But what’s harder? Spending another year—or another decade—settling for something that keeps you small.
