Me and Hubby: Different is GOOD

Today my dear NZH- hubby asked me what drives me when I am working my career!
It was easy to answer: I told him the people that I interact with, educate, and train- they are what drive me. To see people inspired, lives changes, lives saved, and the fact that they want to go out and also inspire people to happy healthy living: yes that is what drives me!

He and I talked about how different we are. At first I thought he was going to bring up something that he had a concern with regarding our relationship. It was quite the opposite.

He wanted to let me know that he was thinking about how different we are, and then also how different we ALL are in general. It is what makes the world go round.

It is what adds VARIETY to our world. It is what makes each and every one of us unique.
I appreciate him talking with me about this today.
My hubby is very competitive: he likes to be the BEST!
Me: I am more of a perfectionist- I STRIVE to get it right, to do it the way it SHOULD BE DONE!
He likes to be the best when he is working, playing his favorite sport, and even racing his boys when they are out running!

I like to make sure I am doing it RIGHT. I am not happy if I do not do too well.
My job demands a lot, yet I am constantly working hard to do the BEST I can.
He likes to BE THE BEST. I like to do the BEST JOB so that people are happy.
There is a difference between him and me. And the beauty of it is that neither one of us is wrong.
We just have a different drive, we have a different way of thinking and a different way of achieving.
In the end, he and I both seek happiness and peace. And we both smiled after we talked about the differences between us.

So this post is dedicated to you dear hubby! I appreciate your conversation with me today about our differences and embracing the fact that you and I are different, yet we still work together and are passionate about life!
