I was just having this discussion with someone today about neediness in relationships, both in friendship and romance. . It turns out that loving oneself is a necessary component of functional relationships. Otherwise, the person wants you to do for them what they are supposed to do for themselves: loving on themselves unconditionally. . This is why self-confidence and self-esteem are so important in business and in romance. You are most attractive when you believe in yourself because your love tank is full. . What happens when you fill up your own love tank? You don’t place a requirement on anyone to fill it up for you. Others are free to be themselves without the additional responsibly of having to emotionally fill up your tank and are free to fill up their own. . So what if things devolve and things don’t work out in a relationship? How do you move past the heartbreak? You do so by refusing to resist the pain. You lean into it instead. You allow love to lead always. It brought you thus far. Let it carry you all the way through it. . There is a pearl in the pain. Let it crack you open to realize that unconditional love is the only kind of love that is real. . Love will never be contained for long for love essentially has its own will. Love wishes to evolve, expand and encompass this world through you. When you come to a place in your understanding when you realize that you yourself are love, it will all make sense. . Trust your angel guides to lead you. Be willing not to know but open to knowing regardless. Lean not upon your own understanding. Love yourself through it. . Let love lead. . @bklausmeyer #SonicPrana #soulalkaemy #shamanichealing #divinelove #compassion #yoga #yogi #yogini #mindfulnesss #meditation #spiritualawakening @avacowan @josefinesyoga @mindfulmelenie @ellenvaman #soulalchemy #soulretrieval #lovethyneighbor #newmindset #selfconfident #selflovefirst https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn39J5DApIj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1up09wcqrozu8
