Shortcut to Knowing How Well He/She Will Love You

If you want to know how well he will love you, just look at how well he loves himself. Don’t look at how well he seems to love his mother, his kids, or his employees; he could have an agenda tied to that. Look at how well he cares for himself—body, mind, and spirit. Look at how much he knows and respects himself for who he is, not what he has, or what he has done. Look at how promptly he responds to his needs. Does he do it joyfully or begrudgingly.

He will love you as he loves himself! … More

To share happy, live happy!

We can’t make somebody else happy; but we can make ourselves miserable and unhealthy trying. And we may observe that the person we’re trying to make happy is equally miserable.

Happy is a choice we can only make for one person; and we make it by being true to self.

To share the happy, live the happy!… More

How do you see yourself?

If you’ve read my stuff, you know that I believe everybody is somebody’s “ten”! Are you YOUR ten yet? When you can see yourself that way, somebody else can, too! … More

How well do you really love others?

It can be tempting to gratify your ego by doing for others what they would be better off doing for themselves, rather than face what you need to do for yourself. It can even be perceived as unselfish, by the selfish.

Taking care of yourself is critical to loving yourself, though; and you can’t love others any better than you love yourself. Love YOU! … More

No place to run … come home to love

I remember running away as a little girl. I got as far as the backseat of the car. Huddled up on the floor, I realized that I had no place to run.

Still don’t. There IS no place to escape our “stuff.” We can face it, though. We can deal with it. We can realize that it’s okay, that we’re okay.

It’s still January. If you haven’t looked your issues square in the eye and figured out that they’re rooted in fear, it’s the perfect time to do that. You’re in charge.

When you run away, you don’t just lose sight of you, you lose sight of love, of God, of all that is good. Remember what you’re made of!… More

What does ideal look like?

Valentine’s Day taps your fantasy. You may be perfectly content until Cupid rears his head with images of what could be … and makes that frozen dinner in front of the TV look downright pitiful.

Don’t confuse you with pitiful!

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and relax. As you get sleepier, imagine your ideal romantic relationship. Look at the details. How do you feel? What do you look like? Where are you? What are you doing? Who is your partner?

Wake up, but don’t dismiss your dream as impossible.

Next, close your eyes and look objectively at your life as it is. Look at the details, and ask yourself the same questions.

Again, don’t confuse you with pitiful.

Identify the disparities between the two pictures. What stops you from living your ideal life? Is it really your ideal life … or is it just some fantasy you conjured up when you were 16?

Whenever and whatever, you created the fantasy. You also created the reality. You can change both.

Now, be honest with yourself. Are you “perfectly content” until Cupid shows up? Or are you perfectly complacent?

When YOU live up to your ideal, so does your reality.

Take the time to know what your ideal relationship — and life — really looks like.… More
