It isn’t attraction that makes a relationship last.
It isn’t common interests, a shared long-term vision, or even commitment.
We think loving yourself means immunizing yourself to criticism.
God & Man
Believing youre thebest.Having excessively positive but ultimately delusional ideas aboutwhatyou are rather than realistic knowledge ofwhoyou are.
Loving yourself is seeing yourself as a whole.
Focusing more on what you know youre capable of rather than how other people see you.
It is knowing how to deal with your darkness.
It is knowing how to respond to the ugly parts of life.
How much you love yourself is how peacefully, humbly and gracefully you live out your life.
The same goes for relationships.
It isnt attraction that makes a relationship last.
It isnt common interests, a shared long-term vision, or even commitment.
And if you are in a bad mood every day, your relationship will be unhappy every day.
If you dont have the courage to forgive yourself, you wont have the ability to accept your partner.
If you dont know how to work on yourself, you wont know how to work on your relationship.
If you see your life through other peoples eyes, youll choose a relationship for how it looks.
If you cant honor what youre feeling, you wont be able to respect what your partner is experiencing.
If the way that you motivate yourself is by shaming yourself, youll motivate your partner by embarrassing them.
If you dont know how to be authentically yourself, you wont know how to genuinely love someone else.
If you are not good enough for yourself, nobody will be good enough for you.
If you are judgmental about everything that you do, you will be pessimistic about everything your partner does.
If you cant handle criticism, your relationship will stagnate.
If you always need to be right, you will always insist that your partner is wrong.
If you have an inferiority complex, you will impose superiority.
If you only know how to meet flames with flames, your relationship will implode.
If you dont have a vision for your life, youll just adopt someone elses vision for theirs.
If you dont know what you want, you wont know how to ask for it.
If you give up on yourself, youll give up on love.
