You Can’t Have The Love
You Want
Until You Love the One You’re With
Okay boys
and girls, for the record, I’m not advocating that you stay in the relationship
you are in while you keep looking for the love you want.
Today’s lesson and every lesson this
year, centers on loving yourself first.
You can’t
give what you do not possess. If you do not truly love yourself—and I mean
everything about you—then you can’t fully express love for another.
I’m sure you
have had plenty of relationships without this love for self, but think hard and
long about this next question before you answer it: why did those relationships
end?
I know, it
takes two to Tango and that the other party had something to do with it, but
ultimately, you picked them and we choose based on the information we have and
the intuition we ignore.
I may be preaching to the choir, but
I am also a member. When we learn to love and adore our own being, we become
much more attractive to others.
But here’s
the rub, you will also become more attractive to those who have a difficult
time loving themselves. In you, they will see the self-love they desire.
I have
friends who often say, “You attract to you what you need to work out.” This is
true, but then there is the law of probability; there are probably more people
who have not learned to love themselves then there are who do; chances are, you
will run into some of them.
Everyone is
attracted to light; even the darkest soul desires the light. So if you are
striving to shine more brightly, expect to be attractive to those who live in
darkness.
But also know this, light attracts
light and when you work on yourself to become who you need to be for you, you
will have all that your soul desires.
That’s it---proof
that you can talk about the water even when you live in the desert.
Be you, be well, be
love.
