Once you understand this concept, you'll never have relationship problems again. This statement may seem simple, but it holds profound wisdom. We often habitually use relationships to contain behavior, thinking that if the relationship is good, the behavior will naturally follow. However, this way of thinking is problematic. By defining relationships with feelings rather than containing behavior with relationships, this statement makes us re-examine the essence of relationships. Relationships shouldn't be a container for behavior but a carrier of feelings. We should define relationships with feelings, not define feelings with relationships. Think about it, in your relationships with others, do you focus more on the other person's behavior or your own feelings? Are you often dissatisfied or frustrated because of the other person's behavior? If so, you've fallen into the trap of containing behavior with relationships. On the other hand, if you focus more on your own feelings, you'll find that relationships become more relaxed and effortless. The benefits of defining relationships with feelings are obvious. First, you'll become more autonomous and independent, no longer constrained by the other person's behavior. Second, you'll pay more attention to your own feelings and needs, no longer paying the price for someone else's behavior. Finally, you'll find that relationships become more authentic and profound because you define them based on your feelings, not behavior. Of course, defining relationships with feelings requires a certain level of ability and awareness. You need to have sufficient self-awareness and emotional intelligence to accurately identify and express your feelings. Moreover, you need to have enough security and confidence to not be swayed by the other person's behavior.
