The Greatest Love You’ll Ever Have

The greatest love you'll ever have is with the woman who greets you in the mirror.

Are you greeting her with a smile or a snarl?

Are you looking her in the eye? Or diverting your gaze?

Are you happy to see her? Or annoyed by her presence?

Do you compliment? Or criticize?

Are you grateful for how she’s always there, day in and day out, without fail

Or you have not yet realized she exists?

Think about it… every single day of your life, you have a built-in best friend who’s capable of loving you and providing you with anything and everything you could possibly need or want: amazing conversation, relaxing dinners, long walks…

And she always wants to do what you wanna do because… well… she’s YOU!

Is that not the coolest thing, ever!?

YOU are your greatest love.

Even if another amazing soul comes into your life who treats you with love, kindness, dignity, reverence, and respect, YOU can provide all of those things to yourself now.

And you MUST

When you love yourself, you won’t tolerate anything less from anyone else.
