“I used to think, ‘I’ll take care of you and you take care of me’. But now I think, ‘I’ll take care of me for you if you take care of you for me.’

There are many times in our lives where we lose ourselves in the emotions of being in a relationship with someone. Many girls derive almost all of their self worth, or lack of it, from having or not having a boyfriend. And if having a boyfriend isn’t important then getting attention from boys is where much of their self esteem comes from. Sometimes you can lose yourself and your values as you pursue happiness from a relationship. “I’ll take care of you” becomes ”I’ll do anything to still have you in my life”. Giving up your values for the temporary satisfaction of attention or an unhealthy relationship erodes your self esteem. There is a moment of satisfaction but long term self esteem, happiness, and attractiveness can’t be acheived this way. Those things are fostered in “taking care of yourself”.

When you develop yourself and your uniqe talents and abilities. When you live by the values that you know in your heart to be true and right. When you set high standards for yourself and exercise self discipline in living them. When you do those things… Then you truly have something to give in a relationship. Then you have something to give to the world. Then you will attract the type of people that you truly want to be part of your life. They will be attracted to you because peace and self esteem will radiate from within you.
