Your search for a romantic partner will move closer to fruition once you direct your search within.
Those who go searching for love only find their own lovelessness. But the loveless never find love; only the loving find love, and they never have to search for it.
D. H. Lawrence
You cannot fully and confidently give your heart to another until you assume total responsibility for your own happiness and well-being.
You can love only in proportion to your capacity for independence.
Rollo May
As awareness grows, you naturally develop greater empathy, compassion, and generosity of spirit. Any tendency to be controlling, demanding, or self-serving vanishes in a puff of higher consciousness.
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are.
Stephen R. Covey
The greater your autonomy, self-knowledge, and self-confidence, the greater the likelihood you will attract a compatible, emotionally healthy partner.
Love is for people who know who they are.
Nathaniel Branden
