Your Love Don't Cost A Thing??

“If you are unconvinced about your worth, everybody else will be too.”

Knowing your worth and value is such an important thing, for anyone, male or female. How else will you know what to accept and what’s unacceptable if you don’t know your worth.

You need to set the standards before you get into a relationship. A lot of people wait until they are about to get engaged to start putting their foot down but that's usually too late. It’s hard for anyone to start trying to discover their worth when their judgment is clouded by emotions and feelings.If you have never sat down with yourself and set parameters and standards for a relationship you will accept dirt when you should be rolling in diamonds. Be clear, honest with yourself and intentional when deciding the kind of person you want to be with. If you don’t know what you want how will you know when it arrives?

I find so many people are afraid of being single. Many would rather sleep with a million and one Mr. and Mrs. Wrongs because they don’t want to be alone, and would rather be in a wrong relationship just so their title isn’t “single”. If you are single, fear not, for that is the opportunity for you to refill your heart and put back whatever was emptied out in your previous relationship but also to set the bar for the next relationship. It’s an important time for you to decide what exactly you want from a partner and what you will not accept. A lot of the “mistakes” such as unwanted pregnancies happen because the lines are usually blurred with no clear cut or predetermined rules.

All this starts with a LOVE of SELF.  Not in a vain or narcissistic way, but based on the knowledge that you are God’s priced possession, a priceless work of art. It’s not arrogance to know your worth and accept nothing less, in fact I think it’s quite smart!

Oh and forget “he(/she) completes me” It’s all about each of you being a complete person in themselves and COMPLEMENTING each other.
