LOVE!
Selfish People Make Better Lovers
When you're good in your own skin, you're good with everyone else's skin!
Love. I just love love, don’t you? It’s the one thing we all have in common; we all want it.
The rules of love are quite different than other gadgets around us. We hunt deer, catch fish, trap rodents, hoard savings, file records and tie down luggage. Try any of those tactics with love and you’ll be eating Friday night pizza by yourself!
We can’t catch love. We can’t own it or keep it. Love is like a cat in your lap. Just feed it and enjoy it. But the second you try to manipulate that cat to stay…zzzoom! It’s gone.
Now, I know you probably came to this page looking for some really sticky romantic stuff. And I’m about to hit you with it. But it might not look quite like the sticky you were expecting. So, here we go…
You must first have it to give it. You cannot give what you don’t have. When your love for yourself overflows, you’ll then have plenty to give to your partner or friend. When you are “good in your own skin,” the love that you give will require no payback.
Here’s the big trophy that comes with self-love. When you get right with yourself, when you become truly content with who you are, guess what happens then? You’ll no longer need others to provide your happiness or affirm your value or worth. Then you don’t have to try so darn hard! You can just be you! Whoa! Did you get that?
You’ve probably heard the term “Everything is relative.” Here’s the mother of relativity:
Your success with everything and
everyone in life is directly relative
to how you feel about yourself.
HERE’S A FLIP FOR YOU: The best thing you can do for your relationship is to fall madly in love with yourself. There ya go! And I’m not even gonna charge you for that one! Let me explain how that works.
When I’m OK with me, then I no longer expect you to be or do what I need you to be or do. I don’t need you to supply for me my sense of worth because I already have it!
I’m OK with myself, then I’m OK with you being exactly who you are, no change required. HOLY COW this is HUGE!
I’ll go so far as to say that, until I love myself, I cannot purely love you. Because my “love” for you will be saddled with an agenda.
It’s extra credit time! I’m going to leave you with a humdinger…
If you want genuine intimacy you won’t find it from expensive jewelry or that trip to Italy you’ve always wanted to take. Oh, sure, you can stir up a night of romance. But intimacy thrives when you choose to reveal the real you, your authentic self. Yep, I’m talking about being vulnerable, baby!
Here, put this one in your pipe and smoke it…
Intimacy is INTO ME SEE
