Attention is not validation. The only remedy to loneliness is learning how to fall in love with your solitude. You attract those meant for you when you're already fulfilled while alone. Match the energy you desire to attract. It's the secret to self-confidence. This inner strength makes you magnetic.

All too often [people] believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm's way.

Sometimes you don’t even need to hear the truth from that person because their actions have already spoken volumes and told you everything you need to know

How a husband treats his wife during pregnancy is perhaps one of the most impactful ways to shape her perception.
At the most vulnerable time of her life;
she’ll either remember your presence, kindness & support for which she’ll adore and cherish
or
she’ll remember your absence, disrespect & selfishness for which she’ll be scarred forever.
She’s your pathway to a future empire: choose your actions wisely.

Many men had offered her many things in the past, love and friendship, luxury and jewels, entertainment, dogs, amusements, homage--some she had accepted, some refused, but no man before had offered her work. Peter had offered her that, he had offered her a share of his--not noble or inspiring or fascinating work, just his work, what he had. He had offered it her, called her great energies into play, and set her to work beside himself in a furrow. And she was glad; for some reason she found it very good.

There are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.
Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch Albom
