InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

March 16, 2023

The focus for today's inspiration is:

Self-love, self-care, and nurturing my own soul, comes first. 

A successful relationship has two very important components: learning to love yourself first, and then learning to love another person.

Too many people ignore the first part, then wonder why it’s so hard to love another. It’s like expecting to water a plant with an empty water pitcher. Or trying to put on your child’s oxygen mask when the airplane cabin pressure drops, but passing out from lack of oxygen before you can get it on.

Self-love, self-care, nurturing your own soul, comes first.

Today's inspiration was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:
     The Two Important Components of a Successful Relationship
     Written by Barry Vissell.
