The 80:20 Rule



In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT 
in your relationship. There is always another person (man or women) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking 
in your relationship that you WANT. And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.
But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better 
with the other 20% that you WANT. But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and loosing
 the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had.
Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.

As I read the rule , I thought of a question a friend of mine asked.
Why do we go back to our Ex's ? 
On my side I would say that it's about comparisons 
It's not that your present partner does give you what you want , it's just that we as human beings are for lack of a better word : Selfish 
I mean you have a good 80 % or do you ?
I personally believe when we are in a committed relationship , we should give up the 20% as well 
Who are u holding it back for , so unconsciously do we want our relationships to fail so we have a reason to go back to our 20% 
Do we really give it our best or we hold back a part for when things don't go our way 
I say have no back-ups in your head/mind/heart/phone 
Give it all you got , everything you have 
Let's learn to go all out and give it our best , make the relationship you're in the best one yet , the best one you will ever have 
don't even think of a heartbreak or anything negative 
Focus all your attention on making your current partner happy 
let them be the centre of your universe , let them be the one in your life and no one else 
Don't get me wrong , don't go neglecting your friends and family 
what I mean is the person you're dating should be the person you're dating 
don't be holding back and thinking what if , let's be honest there will always be some one hotter , smarter , richer , funnier etc
but if you build your world around the person you say you're in relations with and just give it your all
that's it 
 don't be thinking of the other 20% , let the person your with be 80 % and 20 % 
but it requires communication , never assume the other person is on the same page as you with sex , finances , family planning etc
talk and ask questions , learn the person your with 
lets stop giving up on each other 

Dedicated to my girlfriend , babe your my 100% .
