A definition of Love:
The ability and willingness to let those that you
care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that
they satisfy you.
How can you reach the point of being able to let
others be what they choose without meeting your expectations? Very simple. By
loving yourself. By feeling that you are important, worthy and beautiful. Once
your recognize just how good you are, you won’t have to have others reinforce
your value or values by making their behavior conform to your dictates.
If you’re secure in yourself, you no longer need
others to be like you. For one thing, you’re unique. For another, that would
rob them of their own uniqueness. And what you love in them are just those
traits that make them special and separate.
Self-Worth cannot be verified by others. You are
worthy because you say it is so. If you depend on others for your value, then
it is other-worth.
