When you are your own best friend, you don’t endlessly seek out relationships, friendships, and validation from the wrong sources because you realize that the only approval and validation you need is your own.
~ Mandy Hale
Find yourself first…like yourself first…love yourself FIRST…& friendship & love will naturally find YOU.
You cannot ask someone to like you or love you more than you like or love yourself. YOU have to set the standard.
I wondered how that felt, to really like yourself. And I wondered why some people didn't like themselves and others did. Maybe that's just the way it was.
