Recently one of my clients was talking about how she hates being her husbandโs 2ndโฆ
ย
It was his:ย
ย 2nd weddingย
ย 2nd honeymoonย
ย 2nd time witnessing the birth of his child
ย
She confessed to me that all of these major life milestones didnโt feel as important and exciting – simply because they had already happened for him once before.ย ย
ย
And thinking like this made her feel really sad, and unimportant.ย
ย
And itโs true –ย
ย
It was his 2nd honeymoon, marriage, childโฆ
ย
But more importantly, it was alsoย THEIRโฆ
ย first marriageย together.
ย first honeymoonย together.
ย first childย together.
ย
And…she was forgetting another really important thing:ย
ย
ย Second doesnโt mean BAD.ย
ย
And sometimes, second can be even BETTER than first.ย
ย
(Because well…her husbandโs first wife cheated on him, and heโs now happily married to my client – his 2nd wife).
ย
And so next time…when you start to feel down about being #2โฆ
ย
Just remember:ย
ย Second doesnโt mean itโs bad.ย
ย And second can be even better than the first.ย
