It is only then that you will be able to love and accept someone who does, too.

Recognize your own worth and you won't be drawn to those who don't see it.  -Doe Zantamata Always be aware of your feelings. They are the voice of your intuition…your inner truth.  A lot of times in relationships, people are very happy and excited to be in something new, and are very complimentary and notice all the good little things.

For some reason, some great people bring out the worst in each other. They love each other, but just can't get along. Sometimes counseling helps, or it was just a stressful time because of outside influences, but other times, no matter what they do, the relationship just doesn't work.

Remember, it's not called, "That person's approval-worth," it's called "self-worth." When you approve of yourself, you lose the need to prove it to anyone else. -Doe Zantamata
