I KNOW love.
I recognize respect.
I have learned my value.
I have been fortunate enough to find someone who has taught me what love is, I have seen it, and I know how it looks. How it feels. How to recognize it when it shows up.
I am a better leader, friend, mentor, and mother because of it. I am a better HUMAN because of it. I am grateful for the ability to notice it, feel it, see it, and have it.
Because of this, I know what these things do NOT look like.
I have spent this morning in an excercise of reflectiion of my both personal and professional relationships.
There were quite a few that I mistook for love or respect when it was something else all together that I could not name or label.
In my heart I have apologized for my ignorance and mistakes that came from it.
How about you love yourself enough to do an assessment of your relationships past and present.
What did you learn?
How have you benefited from them?
How are they serving you now?
It’s a tough exercise. However, it is worth it.
