We all desire to love and be loved. It’s a universal longing that transcends cultures, ages, and experiences. Yet, how many of us have suffered in the name of love? How many have felt the sting of separation, the ache of unfulfilled expectations, or the weight of loneliness? Perhaps you’ve experienced heartbreak and are still healing those wounds. Or maybe you’re dreaming of a love like the ones you’ve read about in books or seen in movies, searching for that perfect connection. But here’s a truth you may not have considered: to find a love that brings genuine happiness and contentment, you must first meet a fundamental qualification—you must love yourself.
It’s not about being beautiful, wealthy, or perfect. It’s about self-love and self-respect. Before seeking love from someone else, ask yourself: Do I truly love myself? Do I respect myself? If you don’t know how to love and respect yourself, how can you expect to love and respect someone else? And if you can’t even love yourself, how can you expect someone else to love you?
In our society, many people search for a partner to complete them, to fill the gaps in their lives, to erase loneliness, ease sorrow, or forget their troubles. They hope to find happiness through another person. But here’s the harsh reality: placing your happiness on someone else’s shoulders often leads to disappointment. You are the guardian of your own happiness. Only when you are happy within yourself can you bring that happiness into a relationship. Only when you are complete can you find another complete person. And only when two whole individuals come together can a strong, fulfilling relationship be built.
So, how do you become that complete person? It starts with understanding yourself. Ask yourself, Who am I? What do I want? What are my abilities, goals, and dreams? Where does my happiness lie? You are the person you choose to be—not the person someone else wants you to be, not the person society tells you to be. You are unique. Out of the more than seven billion people in this world, there is only one you. In all of history and in all the future, there will never be another person exactly like you. So, don’t try to change yourself to fit someone else’s expectations. Instead, focus on becoming the best version of yourself.
Reflect on your shortcomings and work on your personal growth. Strive to be the best person you can be. Distance yourself from people who hurt you or bring negativity into your life. Don’t seek love from those who don’t respect you. Believe that you are enough. You don’t need someone else to complete you. The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. Nurture that relationship. Become your own best friend, your own lover.
Try this exercise: Stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself, “You are special. You are talented. You are strong. You are beautiful. I love you.” Repeat these words daily. Before you go to bed, reflect on your strengths: “I am special. I am talented. I am strong. I am beautiful. I am happy because I love myself. I am enough.” When you learn to love yourself in this way, when you live for yourself and work on your own growth, you will find a deeper sense of fulfillment in life.
When you stop expecting someone else to bring you happiness and instead focus on recognizing and creating your own joy, you become a complete person. And when two complete individuals come together, they can build a relationship that is stronger, happier, and more successful. Until you find that person who is right for you, focus on loving yourself. Whether that person comes into your life or not, whether they stay or go, you can still live a happy and successful life.
