It’s easy to want to change ourselves just to fit in or be accepted by others. But the truth is, lowering your vibration—dimming your light—to please someone else only takes you further from the love and respect you deserve.
Love yourself every day. Give yourself the kind of care, kindness, and understanding that you hope to receive from others. Because, at the end of the day, no one else will fully meet your expectations or standards the way you can.
If you’re waiting for love from someone else that you haven’t yet given to yourself, you’ll always end up feeling disappointed or empty. The most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. Nourish it, honor it, and let your love for yourself be the foundation for everything else.
When you do that, acceptance and love from others will come naturally, without you having to sacrifice your true self. What’s one way you can show yourself love today that you might usually wait to receive from someone else?
