Has anyone ever heard that metaphor before? Well, if you think about it, they are. You begin a book with anticipation just as you do a relationship, in hopes that it will be great from start to finish – sometimes they are, sometimes they are not – just like relationships.
When you start reading a book, you do not know exactly how it is going to end. When it is a great book, you just want it to go on forever and when the book isn’t so great, you may not finish it.
I am going to lead you into a few more metaphors in regards to relationships and would like to see how many you can come up with too!
Relationships are like a great cup of coffee - good to the last drop!
Relationships are like an obstacle course – tons of challenges, twist, and turns, not knowing for sure if you will make it through to the end, but know if you stay strong with your partner you will both come through at the end together!
Relationships are like a rollercoaster – full of ups and downs, and even totally being put upside down – some of it fun and exhilarating, some of it scary as all beat out, but at the end you are left smiling.
Relationships are like a snowball - as it rolls down the hill it collects more snow making it next to impossible to roll a the enlarged snowball back up the hill, as in a relationship, as it ages it collects all the good and bad which makes it hard to consider losing it.
Relationships are like a pressure cooker. If you use it right, the end results will be delicious, but if you use it wrong you will have a huge mess on your hands!
Okay, that is the end of mine.. It is your turn now. Show me what you have! If you would like to learn how to make any relationship, - business, pleasure, or personal – better, check into the Turning Point Seminar.
I've been sitting here thinking and I can't come up with a single thing. That could be indicative to the fact that I haven't been in a relationship since 1988. That says something, I'm just not sure what!
ReplyDeleteI can think of one but I don't think I can use that kind of language without getting into trouble. At the end of the last relationship I was in, I told everyone I was giving it up for lent and never went back. That was 1988!
ReplyDeleteCan I say that in a relationship sh-- rolls down hill as quick as a snowball gathering momentum until it crushes its target? That's what happened to my last relationship.
ReplyDeleteI'm at the really good part of my book, I mean relationship. I hope it holds through to the end.
ReplyDeleteRelationships are like a book, full of mystery, romance, comedy, etc., etc., etc.
