“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of the most important relationships you can have is with yourself. Learn to respect yourself and others will respect you. How you see yourself shows how others see you.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Patience and tolerance can be tested at times, but if you start from within, the results will be better.

Most of us want to be seen as nice and approachable, so start getting to know how you can practice that. What makes our community, city, and world great places is the variety and individuality of everyone. Start seeing yourself as you want to be seen, and that in turn will be how others will see you.

It takes more muscles to frown than smile. If you start having a good relationship with yourself, you’ll find it will be noticeable to others.

Unless you’re getting paid big bucks in a Hollywood film, no one wants to be known as the “Bad Person!” Love yourself – it’s a good relationship to have!
