On many occasions as human beings, we spend a vast majority of our life chasing happiness, love, acceptance, and most importantly to be understood. It wasn’t until having to be in complete solitude that I began to understand that the things we seek in others we already can be to ourselves. To have come close to a near-death experience a little over a month ago it’s caused me to find gratitude in not only the good but every experience. Grace; an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or lenience. Friendly reminder that everyone in life can use a practice of good grace in their life. I’m learning to have grace for not only myself but others as well. It’s unfair to set such high expectations on others. You never know what a person may be growing through. Being emotionally unavailable is real and not selfish but at times very necessary for the sake of protecting your peace. Don’t ever become dependent upon a person meeting expectations that you may lack within yourself. It’s important that where you lack you fill yourself to become whole. Self-love is the magnet that attracts. So when you don’t practice self-love and you don’t keep yourself whole, you end up attracting where you currently may be in your life even if you didn’t necessarily notice the space you were in. By practicing self-love you open yourself up to meeting someone on the same frequency. All this means is the person cares for themselves just as much as you care for yourself and no matter what you’ll both add value to each other that’s how happiness works we set the tone. Shift the way you see your life and relationships by only focusing on the good, letting go of what was, and accepting the lessons you learned.
