Amazing quote, something I've learned over time. Something I also wish I'd come across a few years ago...
'Love is an inside job. It begins with self-compassion and
self-love. When you let go of the need to be perfect, you stop expecting
the opposite sex to be perfect. When you stop beating yourself up, you
become more compassionate towards others. When you stop worrying about
what other people think, the real you can emerge. And when you can
connect deeply, authentically and vulnerably, you can have a crack at
the real deal, a wonderful loving relationship.
I am done with being the rock. Inside, I am just as strong as I was,
probably even stronger now, but I have softened and opened to exposing
more of my true self. Even when it's scary...no, especially when it's
scary. I have learned to be even more courageous, "daring greatly," and
in the process, I am learning to date greatly.'
