Face Your Past
If you truly want to open yourself up to a great relationship, you should take the time to address any and all
lingering issues from the past. Many people allow their
baggage to cripple their relationships, or even stop
them from being able to receive one at all. We all have
issues, but that doesn’t mean we should continue to ignore them or dismiss the impact they have on our lives.
Facing and addressing the past will give you the opportunity to release negative energy, and make room
for all the positive energy needed for self love, and the
love of the person who is best for you.
Know Yourself
Far too many times we try to find someone to be
with before we truly know and embrace who we
are. Some feel you have to date or be in multiple
relationships to figure that out. I disagree, I believe
you can achieve this in many other ways that
don’t involve constantly getting into relationships
that will likely cause more damage because you
aren’t truly ready for one. If you don’t know and
love yourself first then how can you expect someone else to truly know and properly love you as
well.
Be Honest
If you start a relationship on
lies then there is a very good
chance it will eventually
come crashing down due
to more lies. Lies eventually
catch up to us and in the
process create an environment of doubt and mistrust
that will only spread more
negativity in all aspects of
that relationship. I know
none of us are perfect and
chances are that all of us
haven’t been 100% honest.
We still should do better and
embrace a more honest
approach. Not just with that
person but with ourselves as
well. Ignoring the truths you
feel inside is typically a setup
for living a lie you know isn’t
best. (Cont’d)
