Falling In Love With Yourself
A question today: Are you loving yourself enough?
You know, one of my favourite films is "Playing By Hearts".
It received poor reviews, sure. As do most of my top movies.
But there's one description inside the movie that really struck me the first time I heard it.
When Paul (Sean Connery) is explaining away a former love affair to Hannah (Gena Rowlands), he whispers...
"I remember hearing you once describe to the children exactly what love was. You explained it beautifully...
"You said that falling in love with someone... was really the process of falling in love with yourself.
"You begin to see yourself through their eyes, and you fall in love with yourself again."
Think about it.
When you're truly in love, most people feel exceptionally happy.
And they're happy, because for once, they're in complete acceptance and appreciation of themselves.
They're seeing themselves through the loving eyes of someone else.
So, let me ask. Think of the one person that loves you most -- right now.
And ask yourself:
How do they see you?
How perfect are you through their eyes?
How does that make you feel?
.... Have a great day!

yeah...the fact that someone loves you can be a big factor in loving them.
My husband won me over after years of chasing me through his unending loyalty and love for me...he allowed me to see myself as someone ...wonderful.
Well...then there were the more physical considerations...but mostly it was the vision he showed me of...me that made me fall for him.

You are so absolutely right on. I read somewhere that we fall in love because of the way that person makes us feel about ourselves. And I agree. If we feel good about ourselves, that person makes us feel good about ourself. If we have a setpoint that makes us feel bad, then that person makes us feel bad about ourselves. I think it's all about the setpoint. I don't know if that makes sense, the way I said it, but I think that's the truth. That's why unhealthy people emotionally attract unhealthy relationships; they just perpetuate the status quo. IMHO of course.............;-))
