You need to decide whether, based on everything you know about your partner and your marriage, you're willing to work toward rebuilding the relationship. If so, understand that doing so inevitably involves accepting some degree of risk - that you'll be hurt again. (Credit: MorgueFile)

... Get ready to learn a simple four-step strategy that will help you create your best life in the most streamlined way possible.
1. Know your desired outcome. ... Clearly, it is critical to know your desired outcome. ... Now is not the time to be casual, vague, or even humble. ... Get clear and get specific.
2. Take action. ... Simply do something -- anything, really. Don't fall into the trap of having to know the best action to take to get started because this will cause delay. In fact, it's a crutch many of us use so we don't have to get started.
... We are afraid of doing something that may be wrong. Inspiration is fickle. You'll feel it one minute and then poof, it will be gone the next unless you nurture it with movement -- taking action and getting started. It's better to throw the gauntlet down by doing something -- even the wrong thing -- than staying in your head and losing the inspiration.
3. Focus on feedback. ... If you stay in your head too long and try to analyze every conceivable next step, you'll never know if your path is leading you closer or farther away. Taking action is how you get feedback. Take the step, because even if you are wrong, that will give you valuable feedback so you can adjust your approach.
4. Be behaviorally flexible. If you notice your actions are not leading you to your desired outcome (or maybe not as quickly as you wish), then you have to be flexible in your approach. It's not enough to just notice what you are doing isn't working; you have to shift your strategy. ... Stop, turn, and take a step in a different direction until you get closer to your outcome.
Whether you are starting a new business, in charge of a new product launch, wanting to re-connect with your spouse, wishing to get healthier, or hoping to create your best life, keep these four steps front and center, and they will help you achieve your goals faster and more efficiently.
