The Courage To Be Yourself 200 - 300.(:

What i have been reading is very helpful. She has made a lot of really good points. Being emotionally dependent puts us at the mercy of our fears and other peoples whims. We severely limit our freedom to be ourselves. Sometimes we believe that we must give ourselves in order to to gain and hold on to someones love. But truthfully you do not have to do that. All you have to dfo is be yourself and if they do not like who you are, then they do not deserve you at all. You can not change who you are for they love of someone who does not honestly love you. Most woman look to others for approval before they feel comfortable with themselves or confident. Until we are to be our unique and beautiful (and sometimes ugly) selves, we cannot truly love either ourselves or others. And love is mainly what life is all about.
