Me, Myself, and I (first in a series)


Think about it. We are with ourselves wherever we are and whenever we are there - whether we want to be or not. We're the ones who wear that gorgeous glow all over when we're happier than we could have imagined ourselves. And no one - no one - can break our hearts the same way we can. Before any of the guests show up, and long after everyone has gone home: it's always just each of us, and ourselves.

This is a giant truth that all of us humans share.

So, you'd think that all this "up close and personal"-ness of my own proximity would mean I always want the very best for myself. Unconditionally. What else would I say if somebody asked? Of course I want to be happy. I want to have a wildly successful life. And I want to be the one to define my life in the most meaningful way I can. After all, who has a greater stake in whatever I do...than I do?

Think about the next most important relationship in your life. How do you take care of it? How do you show how much it means to you, how much you treasure it?

Isn't it time you took that kind of care of your most important relationship?
