33 Facts you need to know About Love
3 If we don’t love ourselves first, no one else will — not because we’re not lovable, but because it’s not possible.
4 Whether we love ourselves determines everything else in life, including our relationships, career, finances and health.
5 Loving ourselves means not holding someone else responsible for doing it.
6 If we believe we’re not loved or lovable, we won’t accept anyone’s attempt to tell us that we are, because no one can prove what we choose not to believe.
7 If we think, “No one loves me. I mess up all the time. I don’t even love myself,” the only thing we’ve messed up is our choice of thoughts.
8 If we don’t love ourselves, we’ll try to get other people to make us feel fulfilled and whole, which isn’t possible.
9 When we no longer need other people to convince us that we’re worthy and loved, we’ll be amazed by how quickly all our relationships will improve.
10 Daily life provides us feedback concerning our beliefs about love, and the state of our relationships is the evidence.
11 Love is not an emotion, or butterflies in the stomach, or something that happens to us, or something we fall into.
12 The only way we can experience love is to express it.
13 Love is expressed through kindness and caring, acceptance and understanding, plus service and challenge.
14 Being kind to people opens their hearts, while caring about people opens our hearts.
15 Love means accepting people as they are and making an effort to understand them, to stand under them, which requires making ourselves vulnerable to them.
16 Supportive challenge means providing people an ideal for change, while having no personal interest in whether they change — challenge without service is a violation.
