Sorry I have been lagging at my Sappy Sunday quotes, I have been busy over the weekends! Hopefully this weekend I can stay more on track Anyway, this weeks Sappy Sunday quotes relate to relying more on yourself. I put so much effort into my friends, sometimes I need to take a step back and put that energy into bettering myself. Here are my favorite quotes on self improvement

“Maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.”

I feel like my world kind of got messy for a second. Too many things happened at once, but it showed me who I can and can’t count on, and also taught me to rely on myself before anyone else. I had to break everything to really start rebuilding myself.

“The thing is, we have to let go of all blame, all attacking, all judging, to free our inner selves to attract what we say we want. Until we do, we are hamsters in a cage chasing our own tails and wondering why we aren’t getting the results we seek.”

“Look upon  every experience you’ve ever had, and everyone who’s ever played any role in your life, as having been sent to you for your benefit. In this Universe, there are simply no accidents.”

I like this one a lot, it is good to reflect on every single person in your life and to determine the lesson they are teaching you. Whether it be a heart break, a lost friend, a random new friend… what is their purpose? Take the lesson and move forward.

“The safest principle through life, instead of reforming others, is to set about perfecting yourself.”

And my ALL time favorite?

“You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.”

I think too many people rely on others for happiness. Life throws curve balls at us non stop and at the end of the day you must have a solid core to hold yourself together. What are you going to do when your marriage ends? Your husband leaves and never comes back? Your best friend betrays you? Someone close to you passes away? We all should really strive to exist alone at some point in our lives. You gain insight on what is important and learn fast that the solution is simply to invest more in yourself
