Yes, you can have a successful divorce, says relationship therapist Esther Perel. The first step? Writing goodbye letters to each other: Ending a marriage, with grace and respect
“Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called ‘the love of your fate.’ Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, ‘This is what I need.’ It may look like a wreck but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment–not discouragement–you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow.
Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not.

Another great blogger on WordPress.com…
I considered not writing on this blog anymore. It’s been less than a year since my divorce, but I feel very much healed, or healed enough, to continue on with my life.
I realize though, that a lot of people are suffering from the pain of divorce. Divorce is such a big shift of identity and self that it’s hard to overcome it quickly and hard to overcome it with little pain.
I wrote some guides to getting over divorce, and I offered plenty of advice. But that’s not to say that everyone is going to recover at the same rate or in the same way as I did.
I think instead I’ll offer you a place where you can listen to the musings of a happily divorced man.
By happy, I think of my former spouse and wish her the best. I smile when I think of her, if…

We have a new year upon us, and while “January 1” is just an arbitrary date, for most of us, it feels like a new beginning.
And there’s something beautifully minimalist about this new beginning — it’s a blank slate, where we can do anything, imagine possibilities, become a new person.
In fact, this is available to us in any moment: each new second is a fresh beginning, a new opportunity, a chance to start over, a blank canvas to be filled with whatever art we are moved to create.
