3. He thus encouraged her to come out of her shell. He started guiding her in the initial
years of her career. She used to make mistakes, but he used to guide her and
occasionally scold her as well. Gradually, she became a successful person and was
earning enough money. John was a hard worker as well.

4. We shall look at a small example. Mary was a simple homely type of girl who fell in love
with John, a simple guy as well. He had a successful career and was earning enough
for both of them to lead a happy life. She loved him a lot. In return, he too loved her. He
did not want her to remain in his shadows forever. In case something happened to him,
she should be able to lead a life without depending on anyone else.

5. As she rose up in her career, she started to detest John’s interferences in her matters.
The same guidance that she used to love at one time started becoming irksome for her.
She started feeling that she was more than capable of handling her problems than
before. This led to frequent quarrels between them. One day, it reached the tipping
point. She wrote a note that read like this. “I am not going to listen to your advice at all
times. I know what is best for me. There are many people who would love to accept me
as I am today. If you do not like it, you may please leave me.”

6. John read that note and felt sad. It was he who had loved her when she had nothing.
Now that she has everything in life, he is proud of her, but he could not understand the
negative feelings that she has developed for him. He wished her all the success and
left her by writing this note. “I loved you when you were a simple girl with nothing. Now,
I am happy that you are successful in life. My intention was always to make you feel
that you are no less than anybody in the world. However, it seems that your ego has
gone to your head and this is what is creating these barriers. I do not wish to block
your further success in life. I wish you all the best.”

7. He left her, but she realized that it was now too late to repent. Her ego was the
deciding factor. This story is a simple one, but it drives home hard facts. This is what
the Landmark Forum does for you.
