Nobody can hurt me without my permission

“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”


--Tom Robbins

@FB..you are so right. We don't need to rely on someone else for our happiness and self worth. Only we can be responsible for that. If we can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. We must accept who we are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as WE see fit - not because we think someone else wants us to be different
