Are You Someone You Love?

“I don’t want to hurt someone I love.” If the fear of losing someone you love is your reason for not doing something that you want to, do you love yourself? Yes, by going against your will to avoid displeasing someone you love, you are actually hurting yourself. Would you hurt yourself if you love yourself?

Someone You Love: Yourself

The only way to ensure that you don’t hurt someone you really love is by making sure that you are happy. This is because being happy is the first condition to feeling love towards somebody. In the quest to entertain someone you love, you must not forget that he or she can enjoy the most with you only when you are in a joyous state of mind. It is only in such an atmosphere that the feeling of love can be shared and cherished.

Happiness For Someone You Love

If the person you are trying to please by going against your own wishes really loves you, s/he will never want you to give up pursuing your happiness. For somebody who loves you, being happy for your happiness will any day be the choice he or she will make over the option to be pleased by you doing something for him or her.

Moreover, not talking it out creates a dead end in some areas of your relationship. An accumulation of such areas takes the love out of the relationship and happiness out of your life. Don’t let this happen. Love yourself.
