Today's quote is a longer one, but it really impacted me.
“As a result of unsatisfactory relationships, many people today are obsessed with changing themselves, hoping that when they change, their life will improve. Creating more love in your life has nothing to do with changing who you are or with trying to change others. As a matter of fact, that just gets in the way. The more you try to modify your behavior in order to act like you think you ’should’ act, the less you will be yourself and the harder it will be for you and others to love you.
There is nothing wrong with change except when it prevents you from being who you really are.
As long as change is motivated by self-hatred, it can never create more love. You may become more powerful; you may get a better job; you may even make new friends. But you’re not going to love yourself more. You may succeed at convincing others that you are more worthy of their love, but deep down inside you will never feel truly loved and accepted for just being you.”
