Ending Codependency in Relationships
 
"In the end, we are responsible for ourselves and our own happiness. What we create in ourselves we can later skillfully give to others. In this dynamic and vibrant world, loving ourselves not only makes us stronger, but also the people around us."

I forget where I found this article. But I accidentally moved my home screen in my phone to the third page where I have a bunch of stuff saved and this popped open. So I thought I'd share. Tiny Buddha is a neat website too :-)

Exactly! :)

I just wish it hadn't taken me 50 years to figure that out, you know?

Absolutely. I let go of a lot of resentment when I realized I'm responsible for picking the people who share my life: I can populate it with strong, healthy people and have good experiences and loving support or I can pick alcoholics who bring negativity. Thanks so much for posting this.
