The Most Difficult People In Your Life Are Your Greatest Teachers

In this episode, Eckhart says no one person can make us happy
because the demand is not only too much, but also an impossible
task. He explains falling in love may feel wonderful. The
honeymoon starts and everything is beautiful. Until the day comes
when we discover our partner has issues or even worse: a very
active pain body. He says we might panic, thinking I made a
terrible mistake! With humor, Eckhart explains what’s really
happening is the relationship no longer masks the real problem:
our underlying anxiety and disconnection. He says as long as we
look for gratification outside ourselves in people, places and
things or what he calls the horizontal dimension, we will always
feel like something is missing. He shares that the most difficult
people in our lives can become our greatest teachers because they
push us to awaken – to step into the vertical or transcendent
dimension.
