Self-love isn’t an escape …
There is no self-love without self-knowledge, the quest of a lifetime. You have to know who you are to respect what you’re made of, to respond to your needs, and to hold yourself accountable for being true to your values and your dreams.
Self-love isn’t an escape. It’s a path to fulfilling our purpose. … More
Habits Dictate Health of Relationships
We continually choose what “makes” us happy or unhappy. But if we do it out of habit — or by default — we may scarcely realize that we can and do choose.
Each of our choices yields a consequence. And we learn from consequences. Unfortunately, part of what we learn perpetuates the negative — and keeps us from doing something about it.
If, for example, somebody breaks off a relationship with you, you might attribute it to your inadequacy and reinforce your habitual thinking that you’re not good enough. Discouraged, you fumble the proverbial ball, which perpetuates your negative opinion of yourself.
Your thoughts trigger feelings; your feelings inspire actions; and your actions get results that “make” you squeal with delight or scream or simply plod on. This cycle repeats itself — over and over again. And you just might find yourself in a rut or living a life based on bad habits.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit,” said Aristotle.

~ He doesn’t know who you are — not what you do for a living or a list of facts — what’s important to you, what you stand for, what you’re passionate about.
~ He doesn’t respect you for who you are.
~ He’s more interested in what you do together than just spending time together.
~ He talks to you but doesn’t listen to you or listens to you but doesn’t talk to you.
~ He doesn’t introduce you to his family and friends or take you to his office party.
~ He spends money freely on himself but skimps on you.
~ He doesn’t respond (out of desire, rather than obligation) when you need help.… More
Can you feel the love?
It’s not what you do. It’s how you feel when you do it.
If you can do it wholeheartedly, it feels like love. If you can’t do it wholeheartedly, you’re betraying yourself and love. … More
