No relationship is perfect. But ‘relationships become problematic when one person’s fulfillment is routinely sacrificed in service of the other’s.’
If you want to fulfill your potential, you need a healthy relationship. You need a healthy human being in your life. You need people who love you for who you are, not for what you can do for them.
Do not surround yourself with people who are in your life to get. It is not good for you. Why is that? Because if you are unable to meet their needs, they will leave you for another person. The more you do, the more they want from you. The more you do for them, the less you do for yourself.
It is okay to help other people. But do not forget yourself.
As always, you are more, not less!
