Trump To Divorce For The Fourth Time. The Razor’s Edged Path: The Walk Between Seva and Self Nourishment

AOL flashes the headline before me: Trump To Divorce For The Fourth Time then I read: Ivana Trump was hoping the fourth time would be the charm when it comes to marriage. No such luck. The socialite and former Mrs. Donald filed for divorce Friday from Italian guy Tossano Rubicondi, citing their busy schedules and time apart. In a statement, Trump said her husband has spent much of the past two years in Italy, while she has been running around the globe tending to hotel and resort development projects. The lack of time together took its toll, she said. Trump, 60, married the 37-year-old entrepreneur in April 2008 in a lavish wedding at her ex Donald’s Florida estate. They had been dating for six years.

What do I think of her getting yet another divorce? I think she’s a smart business woman; I think she has prenuptial agreements in place, so joint property is not an issue. I think she’s intuitive enough to know when a relationship has run its course and it’s time to free each other up for the next perfect partner. I think if she likes to get married, she should be able to do it as often as she wants.

I’ve been married five times. My typical relationship term was 3 years, then I liked a break. Then I’d do it again. And take another break. Repeat and repeat again. The more of a workaholic I became, the less it made sense to share physical space with someone. It got in the way of work.

Work wasn’t just what I did from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day, work wasn’t just publishing Horizons Magazine. Work was the fulfilling of my mission in connecting with people and spending much time on the phone with them and I always made it a priority. I figured I could either give all my energy and juice to one person – my mate – or I could give it to all the many people I talk to and write with each day. I didn’t think I could do both.

Pretty arrogant to put that above my relationship, huh? To think I made such a difference in these people’s lives that I devoted majority time to them, at the expense of spending time with my mate. I think it would be unconscious of me to be unaware of my effect on them, in helping them expand their own perception of their lives, and what is truly possible for them to do.

That’s why they call it the razor’s edged path, this walk between seva and self nourishment. How do we know if we’re being guided by the Universe or when it’s just our ego selves wanting attention? When do we know we have the right balance? I’m happy being the solitary one, but I’ve been remembering how fun it can be to have a boyfriend again, too.

As this year closes, I am open to change. I’m also into taking time to get used to new ideas, so I’m mostly doing some prepaving here.

As usual, I reserve the right to change my mind upon the further illumination of my own consciousness.
