Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve
in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.
The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.
You never lose by loving, you lose by holding back.
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life takes place.
If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself
“No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.
When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.
