Good morning and welcome
to your morning cereal.
Okay, good morning and welcome to Friday.
Nicely done.
You stuck with it and you made it
through the end of the week.
Now, with that weight off your shoulders,
how about taking another weight off?
Today is National Apology Day,
which means it's time to
finally say those hard words
for some of us to say, I'm sorry.
Be the bigger person if need be
and just move forward in life.
All right, yesterday's trivia answer,
238,855 miles.
That's how far the
moon is from the earth.
And now the essential
vitamins in your morning cereal.
Today's quote is from
birthday boy turning 76 today,
Peter Gabriel, who said, quote,
"I hold the line, the line of strength
"that pulls me from the fear."
End quote.
Yes, make that conscious
decision to remain resilient,
remain focused and
anchored in your inner strength
and you too will move forward
and courage overcoming that fear.
All right, well, let's go ahead
and hear from the experts now.
It is time to pour in some Let Them
Theory by Mel Robbins.
And today we are
stepping into chapter 19,
which is entitled, How
to Take Your Relationships
to the Next Level.
And today we're gonna
focus on the introduction
and the first sub-chapter in this,
which is entitled,
If You're Always
Picking the Wrong Person.
So, Mel opens this
chapter by challenging the idea
that the problem is out there, right?
She explains that
patterns in relationships
aren't bad luck, they're feedback.
If you keep choosing
emotionally unavailable people,
it's not coincidence, it's familiarity.
As Mel writes, quote, "You
don't attract what you want.
"You attract what
you're ready for," end quote.
So this section is about
responsibility without blame.
Mel encourages readers to stop asking
why relationships keep failing
and start asking what feels familiar
about the people they choose.
Chaos often feels
exciting, distance feels normal
and consistency can feel boring
if you're used to instability.
So one of the most
eye-opening lines in this section
is this, quote, "If you
keep picking the wrong people,
"the common denominator isn't them.
"It's the pattern," end quote.
Mel explains that healing doesn't come
from finding someone new,
it comes from choosing differently.
She also emphasizes
that taking a relationship
to that Next Level, it
starts with self-honesty.
Are you ignoring red flags?
Are you confusing
chemistry with compatibility?
Are you hoping someone will change
once they feel more secure?
Mel's answer here is clear.
Don't build the future on potential.
This chapter invites
readers to slow down,
reflect and raise your standards,
not out of ego, but out of self-respect.
When you stop choosing
from fear of being alone,
you create space for real connection.
All right, here is your Friday takeaway.
Better relationships
start with better patterns,
and that begins with you.
All right, well,
apologize if you need to,
forgive if you can, and by all means,
go and enjoy your Friday.
But first, the prize from
the bottom of the cereal box,
the morning cereal
trivia question of the day.
Friday's a harder one, here it is.
Actually, this one
might not be that hard.
Which soda was introduced
first in the United States?
Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Cola, or Squirt?
All right, well, thanks for listening to
Morning Cereal today.
Have a great weekend, and
we'll see you back here on Monday
for the answer to the trivia question
and more sugar for your soul.
And until then, have a fantastic day.
