“Love is NOT all you need!
You need mutual respect.
You need support.
You need boundaries.
You need people to be there when it matters.
You need space to grow and acceptance when you do.
You need people to show their love in a way you can understand.”
– Nedra Tawwab

Smile! Now doesn’t this make so much sense?!

Unfortunately we all believed a musical myth (sorry Beatles!) when we heard “All you need is love!”

We stopped looking for real compatibility, respect, maturity, when we thought that OUR love could fill in all the gaps and fix the flaws!

Of course, love is very, very important! It’s not the ONLY thing we need however!

To be emotionally, spiritually and physically healthy we need all the things listed in the quote above!

When we don’t have those things, and I’m sure most of us have experienced negative relationships where those things were lacking, we were deeply affected emotionally, spiritually and physically!

I have learned we need those things not only in our relationships with other people, but we also need them in our relationship with our-self!

Be bold, be courageous, go after what you need by starting with your relationship with yourself!

Everything flows outward from there!
