Build a relationship with YOURSELF FIRST!!

I was reading The Fred Factor yesterday. There is a section on building relationships, and the very first step in building relationships is : Be Real.

He goes on to talk about that many of us have heard the saying 'fake it until you make it' He suggests that this is the opposite of our culture today.
"The intent is to become who you want to be by acting like you were the person already. The only problem with that strategy is that you're a fake.

Try this alternative: always do your best being yourself. Aim to improve, try new things and add value. Let that come out of who you really are, what you truly believe in and the things you are committed to.

The prerequisite for relationship-building is trust. At the most basic level, trust is built on believing that someone is who he represents himself to be."

How true this is... I used to live in a fake it till you make it life. Let me tell you from experience: it's absolutely draining. It makes life hard, and disappointing.

But the excellent news is you can choose to change that right now!! The only reason that people in your life expect perfection from you, is because that is what you've always shown and given. When you begin to live life as the person you really are, normal and having flaws, everything falls into place MUCH EASIER!!!

Create a phenomenal day~
Love yourself.....
Take time for YOU today...........
