DAVID JUDD

THE ESSENTIAL RULE OF RELATIONSHIP

We are all responsible for 50% of every relationship in which we are involved. When we have problems with relationships, we only ever try and change 50%.

The problem is – and it is the 50% over which we have no control – the other person’s 50%.

The Essential Rule of Relationship states if you want to change your relationship change the 50% over which you have total control and full responsibility.

YOUR 50%
