I’m sure you’ve heard it before, “Before you can truly love someone else, you have to truly love yourself.” It makes sense and it sounds great, but what does “loving yourself” actually mean and does it have a big impact on the success of your relationship?
Here’s my take: In order to love yourself, you have to know yourself and many women don’t take the time to understand themselves and learn how to live with themselves without the support of anyone else.
When you can successfully know yourself to love yourself, then you’ll understand exactly what you need to give and need from a relationship in order for it to work.
When I say learning to love yourself without anyone’s support, I don’t mean financial support. I mean emotional support. It’s one thing to have someone to vent to about a horrible day at work or looking forward to telling all of your friends that you made the dean’s list, but have you ever taken the time to question if you’re able to be alone and still be happy?
