About This Quote

Set the standard! Stop expecting others to show you love, acceptance, commitment, & respect when you don't even show that to yourself. The best way to teach someone about love is to be the example of it for them. When you want to be loved, you have to show that you love yourself first. You can’t demand that others love you when you don’t even love yourself. It’s like telling your child how to speak and not speaking yourself.
