Our idea of a real problem is someone else's idea of an ultimate dream. Put the 'problem' in perspective
Tony RobbinsRead
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
Interpretation
What this quote means
A healthy relationship involves giving rather than taking.
Tony Robbins highlights the misconception that relationships are primarily about personal gain—finding someone to fulfill our needs. Instead, he emphasizes that lasting relationships are built on a foundation of giving and contributing to the other person's happiness, rather than expecting to receive.

As a species, we're not only wired to choose today over tomorrow, but we hate to feel like we're losing out on something. The bottom line is, if we feel like we're losing something we avoid it, we won't do it. That's why so many people don't save and invest. Saving sounds like you're giving something up, you're losing something today. But you're not.
