About This Quote

The first step to a better relationship is a more positive outlook on yourself. We all have our own unique qualities and talents, so try to see the good in yourself and be open to the ways you can improve. Identify your strengths and use them smartly. When it comes to relationships, the best way to be a good partner is to be your best self. You can't expect your partner to be your best self, so you need to try being that person.
