Personally, I do understand the point of this statement. We all have the ability to frame our lives-> what we want to accomplish, where we want to go, etc. And as with any process, it is very possible to redefine things as we see fit.
Right now, I am enjoying my life. It mainly consists of church, work, family/friends and L.O.V.E. As busy as I am- sometimes I just like to do nothing haha! I like being able to decide to jump up and go or just relax at home with a good book or movie.
In general, I believe that we show others how to treat us. (Of course, some people will just do whatever they want but anyway. . .) I'm learning more and more about what I deserve and the true meaning of happiness. I'm realizing that if I can't be happy by myself, there's a very slim chance that I'll be able to help make anyone else happy.
I always tell people that it's important to be good to yourself. If you try to be everything to everybody, you WILL run yourself ragged. I'd rather be able to choose to rest than be forced to. So while I love to help others, I have to look out for myself.
Okay- forgive me and let me get back on topic (lol).
We show others what our priorities are and what we believe we deserve. So I do think that I'm framing the love life that I'd appreciate.
First, {Singing} "God is the joy and the strength of my life." Seriously though. . . I know that without Him, I am nothing. I want my life to be a meaningful sacrifice/offering to Him. My prayer is that if I'm with someone, they'll understand that, appreciate me for it and encourage me in my walk with Him.
I have standards and realistic expectations. I value my time and do not try to entertain foolishness. So basically, if a dude wants to approach or pursue me. . . he needs to come correct. It takes both parties to have a successful relationship. I'm willing to [do the] work with them.
I really think I could go on for a while about this statement but maybe I'll save part 2 for the future.
To sum it all up. . . Love yourself first! That will show others how to love you! If someone proves that they are worthy of your love, be willing to work with and cherish them. I think that's how you can receive the love life that you want.
In the meantime, here's a song that describes how I feel (at the moment) almost perfectly. . .
