Falling in Love... with you!

This morning I read a thought-provoking article in the Huffingtonpost by David Wygant, 'The Truth about Falling in Love.'

David made an excellent point that being happy in a relationship requires falling in love with the most important person in your life. That person, of course, is you.

I fully agree with David that you can't be in a successful relationship unless you love who you are and become satisfied with your own life first. Too many people get into or stay in toxic relationships because they are afraid to be alone.

Falling in love shouldn't be about someone else 'completing you' or being your 'other half'. Those are romantic sentiments that make one go 'awww' in the movies, but as David says, 'When you meet someone, it should be two perfect circles meeting each other.' And of course, you should complete yourself!

The better you know and love yourself, the better your chances are of falling in love - and staying in love with someone else who love themselves too. After all, wouldn't you rather be healthy alone than together in an unhealthy relationship?
