Steve MaraboliThe most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself. It is in this relationship that you set the standard for all others.
About This Quote
When you are in a relationship with someone else, the other person is obviously there. However, it is in your relationship with yourself that you become the most important person in your life. When you are with yourself, you are not counting on anyone else to provide your happiness. Instead, you are responsible for finding happiness.
You have control over your own happiness. You do not have to wait for the other person to be happy or satisfied before being happy or satisfied yourself.
