A quote from dr. Phil (a psychologist): "The most important relationship in your life is the relationship with yourself".Based on my psychology studies and reflection upon what is happening, I agree with him.
My conclusion is that your relationship with yourself shapes all the other relationships.
That's how it works no matter if you want it or not. Let me present you some examples.
When a person is in peace and harmony with him(her)self, people are drawn to him, everyone wants to communicate and hang out with this person.
When a person is not satisfied with him(her)self and demands a lot of him(her)self, (s)he demands a lot from the other people, especially close people. This is happening either consciously or subconsciously, meaning that a person can realize what (s)he is doing or (s)he can be totally unaware of the cause of his(her) actions.
Well, it is not easy to put in words such complex phenomena, but I hope you get the point.
What I learned is that to maintain good relationship with myself, I need God.
To me personally, the close relationship with God is what teaches to love myself, to forgive the others and myself, and to accept the vulnerability and imperfection of my own and of the others.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm inspired by your write-ups (just like this)...continue writing...you'll never know who and how you touch other people's lives (",
Thanx, Cha, :)
That's good to hear, we all have our purpose in life, right?
Maybe for you it is to always shine with joy, I don't know :)
