The quality of relationship you have with others reflects the standard of relationship you have with yourself.
As we grow, we become a better version of ourselves and the amount of effort we put into actually growing ourselves will directly align with the amount of growth we have in our relationships with others.
So knowing this and reflecting on my past relationships, I've realized that the amount of care, energy and intention, somebody is capable of putting into a relationship with me can only- and will only ever be equivalent to the amount of intention and care they put into themselves.
Your only as powerful as your intentions.
And your capability of following through with your intentions is only as powerful as the weight of your word with yourself.
