One of the quickest ways to feel less stuck in a relationship is to evaluate how you’re defining success.

If your success is dependent on how the other person responds to you, whether you can convince them or get them to respect your boundaries, you’re often going to feel frustrated and unsuccessful. If however, you redefine success to mean that you are satisfied with how you are showing up when things aren’t going the way you want them to, then you have complete control over your success.

Decide ahead of time how you’ll define success in your next tough moment today and watch what changes because of it.
