Do You Want Happy Relationships? Love Yourself.

Here’s my big message today: You can only have happy relationships if you have happy self-love.

Nope, I’m not talking about narcissism—or extreme selfishness. Here’s why: I believe selfish people don’t really love themselves.

Let me tell you my story.

       Two years ago, I attended my 25th Alumni Homecoming.

It was great catching up with old friends. We were all bigger, balder, and bumpier in various parts of our body.

       But what gave the heebeejeevies was walking through my old school building. I was overwhelmed with a flood of not-so-happy memories. I realized how much I didn’t like school.

You see, I was a very insecure kid.

I was very shy. I was introverted. I had pimples. I was so thin, they called me tipaklong (grasshopper). For Filipinos, my nose was large, so they called it a grand piano hanging on my face.

And some classmates bullied me. They called me names. They pushed me around. They forced me to do errands. And they made me their lifetime supply of pad paper. 

       In youth lingo, I was a Loser with a capital L.

But I felt all my classmates were so confident, so large, so outgoing, and so happy. They loved school. 

And so I asked myself this disturbing question: What is wrong with me?  Hundreds of times a day, I would ask myself this question. And for years, this question was my constant refrain.

What Is Wrong With Me?

25 years later, I know God has healed me because I don’t ask that cynical question as often anymore.

I now love myself.

I’ve grown in confidence.

And I’ve become successful!

       I have a wonderful family and fantastic friends.

       I’ve written bestselling books.

And my pimples are gone.

I’ve grown to my ideal weight.

My face is larger, so my nose isn’t a grand piano anymore. (Now it looks more like a church organ.)

       And thanks to my friend, co-preacher, and couturier, Adrian Panganiban, I dress well. Suits, ties, the works. He makes clothes for showbiz stars and has made it his personal mission to make me look guwapo. I think he has succeeded (Ahem).

But may I be honest with you?

At rare times, I still find myself asking that judgmental question: What is wrong with me?

       It’s amazing how after 25 years, a tiny part of me is still that insecure schoolboy that wanted people to like me.

My problem through all those years? 

I didn’t love myself.

       For decades, my heart was empty of self-love.

       But was my heart really empty? 

Your Heart Filled With Either

Self-Love Or Neediness

Imagine your heart to be an empty bottle.

But it’s not really empty. It’s actually filled with air.

       In the same way, when a human heart doesn’t have self-love, it isn’t empty. It’s filled with neediness.

The air in the bottle is a symbol of neediness.

But if you pour water in it, it pushes air out of the bottle. The more water it has, the less air it has.

       That water is self-love.

I believe the only solution to neediness is self-love.

If you learn to love yourself, you’ll push out neediness from your heart. The more you love yourself, the less neediness you have. The less you love yourself, the more neediness you have.

       Would you know neediness if you saw it?

Do You Have Neediness?

       Neediness, or a lack of self-love, is expressed in so many ways. Here are a few of them…

·        Some, like me, become people-pleasers. They’ll be kind, gentle, and smile at everybody so they’ll be liked. Because their substitute for self-love is to be liked.

·        Some achieve a lot, get good grades, and do great things. Because their substitute for self-love is to be admired.

·        Some rebel, get angry, disobey, and reject everyone. Because they’re substitute to be loved is to receive attention.

·        Some become victims of abuse. (Read my example later.)

As I said, I expressed my neediness in the first way—by becoming a good guy. All these years, people thought I was such a loving person. (I fooled you, didn’t I?)

But in reality, I wasn’t giving love; I was buying love.

I wasn’t giving love; I was giving neediness. Because you can only give what is in your heart.

Boy, was I miserable! 

Because I lacked self-love, it was impossible to have a healthy, happy, relationship with others.

       Let me tell you an extreme example…

The Need To Be Needed

Angela is married to her college sweetheart Marty.

But Marty is an alcoholic.

A few times a month, he comes home very drunk and beats Angela. He gives her a black eye. Slaps on the face. Bruises on the arm. 

When he wakes up, he doesn’t even remember what he did. 

Marty kneels down before a battered Angela and asks for forgiveness. He’s totally repentant and sobs like a baby.

But one or two weeks after, he gets drunk again and beats her up again. This insanity has been going on for seven years.

Many friends have told Angela to leave Marty. And she has. But Marty would find her and beg her to return. And out of love, she would return home—only to be beaten again.

But is it really out of love?

No. It’s neediness.

Specifically, the need to be needed.

Like me, Angela’s heart is filled with neediness, begging for love. Because she can’t find love, she mistakes being needed as love. And she finds it in her sick husband.

Angela’s neediness attracted Marty’s neediness. Two needy people needing each other. It was the perfect recipe for an unhappy marriage. (I’ll talk more about this later.)

I talked to Angela.

I told her the harsh truth, “You don’t really love her husband.”

“How could you say that?” she said, “That’s why I’ve stuck with him…”

“If you really loved him, and not needed him, you would have run away from him a long time ago and never went near him until he stopped drinking for at least 6 to 12 months. He doesn’t need gentle love. He needs tough love. Are you willing to give that?”

She closed her eyes and wept.

The Problem Of The Needy Heart

I’m going to expose my age again.

Remember this song by Basil Valdez? “It’s your smile, your face, your lips that I miss; your sweet little eyes that stare at me and make me say, I’ll be with you through all the way, ‘Cause it’s you, Who fills the emptiness in me…”

Lovely song. But here’s what I learned about relationships: An empty heart can only give emptiness.  And emptiness is another word for neediness.

Have you heard this song by Barry Manilow? “You know I can’t smile without you, I can’t smile without You, I can’t laugh and I can’t sing, I’m findin’ it hard to do anything…”

I’ll be scared if I have a friend who can’t smile without me.

I’ll be scared if I have kids who can’t smile without me.

I’ll be scared if I have a wife who can’t smile without me.

Or have you heard this one by Mariah Carrey?  “I can’t live if living is without you, I can’t live, I can’t live anymore…”

Beautiful song. But if you’re looking for a spouse, I strongly urge you to look for someone who can actually live without you—but who will choose to live with you—not because he needs you, but because he loves you.

But this isn’t that easy. Again, I must warn you: Neediness attracts neediness. A needy heart is naturally attracted to another needy heart. The reason is obvious. If you can’t get love, might as well get its counterfeit: neediness. 

That’s why some women are jerk magnets. They’re attracted to bad guys because they need to be needed.

The only solution? Replace neediness with self-love.

Because you can only have healthy relationships if you have healthy self-love.

Five Ways Of Filling Your Heart

With Self-Love

      

       Let me share with you the five powerful ways of how to fill your heart with self-love. I’ve tried them. They work marvellously.

       Many relationships are suffering right now because of neediness. When you learn to love yourself, your relationships will be freed from neediness. And your relationships with become so much happier.

But I must warn you: Five is a big number. You won’t remember them all. What I want you to do is choose one thing that you believe God wants you to do today. Just one!

Here they are:

1. Believe in your own worthiness

2. Fulfil your dreams

3. Care for your needs

4. Relate with the right God

5. Relate with the right people

Step 1:

Believe In Your Worthiness

Do this for me.

Place your hands over your chest and say this out loud, “I’m a wonderful human being. I’m a beautiful person. I’m blessed. I’m equipped. I’m anointed. I’m talented.    I’m loved. I’m prosperous. I’m generous. I’m wealthy in every way.”

Do you feel better?

Then say these statements twice a day, once in the morning and once before you sleep at night!

Personally, I had to change my constant question in my mind. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” I had to start asking, “What’s right about me?”

Get a piece of paper and answer that question. Write whatever comes to mind. The longer the list, the better!

       Second, go to a loved one—and ask her, “What’s right about me? What’s great about me? What’s wonderful about me?”

Write down her answers.

And echo the Psalms when it says, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

       When you appreciate your worth, it’ll be much easier to appreciate the worth of others. And you’ll find your relationships growing in love.

Step 2:

Fulfil Your Dreams

       This actually saved me.

       I wasn’t very good with Step 1, “Believe In Your Worthiness”.

       But by God’s grace, I learned my mission early. I gave my first talk as a 13-year old boy and it changed my life. I suddenly knew my sacred mission.

       I learned to dream about my ministry a long time ago.

       But I had a hard time dreaming about my dreams—like what house I wanted to live in and how much money I wanted to earn or what car I wanted to drive. Because I felt this would be selfish. Shouldn’t my whole life be for God alone? 

But years later, I learned that to honor those dreams in my heart was to honor God who gave me those dreams.

I began to love myself by working on fulfilling my dreams.

Do yourself a big favor. First, know your dreams. Second, go and reach for your dreams.

Why will this bless your relationships? Because once you honor your dreams, you’ll be able to honor the dreams of others too. You’ll encourage people in your life to grow.

Step 3:

Care For Your Needs

      

       My wife calls me a low-maintenance husband.

       I don’t need much to be happy.

       A part of that is good. But a part of that comes from my past: For years, I felt guilty if I wanted something. Like it was a bad thing. I had to wrestle with that too.

       Later on, I learned to be aware of my needs and meet them generously.

       One of my strongest needs is to be quiet, to be alone, to read a book, to reflect. So I give that to myself as often as I can.

       My other need is to exercise regularly.

       And when I’m exhausted, I get a massage. My wife knows that if I want to feel loved, she’ll give me a foot massage. It beats a delicious casserole anytime.

       And about money. There was a time when I didn’t like spending for myself, just for others. Again, I felt selfish if I did. 

I could spend money as long as it’s for God or for others. But I’ve always had a hard time spending for my own needs.

Hey, perhaps this isn’t your problem. I know others who come from the opposite direction: All they do is spend for themselves and don’t give to God or others. Well, I believe God will pull you towards my direction. And we’ll meet somewhere in the middle!

But slowly, I’m learning. Last month, I bought a nice pair of headphones for myself.  It was the noise-cancelling headphones, great when you want to sleep in airplanes. I still couldn’t buy the expensive brand that costs P5000. So I just bought the cheap brand worth P800. But still, I felt wonderful.

       Being a simple person, I still have very few needs. But those needs, I try to honor whenever I can.

       Go ahead. Write your own needs on a piece of paper. And see how you can honor them too. 

Again, this simple act will bless your relationships because you can now serve people’s needs with a heart full of love, not neediness.

Step 4:

Relate To The Right Image of God

I’ve met people whose God is always angry and condemning. Then I’m sorry, prayer won’t help. Because you’re praying to the wrong god.

Fix your picture of God.

Read books on God’s Love. Talk to spiritual people who have the right image of God. Capture this vision.

And allow that God to love you.

Let Him whisper to your heart that you’re more wonderful than you can ever imagine.

This is one of the goals of the GodWhispersClub. If you’re not yet subscribed, log on at www.GodWhispersClub.com. You’ll get a GodWhispers Email twice a week. It’s free.

       When you change your image of God, your relationships with others will change by leaps and bounds because you become like the God that you worship. If you worship a judgmental god, you’ll be judgmental too. But if you start worshipping a God of great compassion and love, you’ll (slowly) be like Him too.

Step 5:

Relate To The Right People

Remember: Needy people attract needy people.

So be careful with the people who enter into your life.

If you’re not careful, you may end up with an inappropriate number of what many authors call “Emotional Vampires”. These are people who suck out your love and joy. There are many kinds of Emotional Vampires: The Demanding. The arrogant and the self-righteous. The bitter. The unfaithful. The manipulative. Addicts. Parasites. Complainers. Critics.

Imagine your life as a three-seater couch.

Because you only have 24 hours a day, there’s a limit to the people who you can hang out with—in the same way that there are a limited number of people who can sit on that couch.

If the spaces are filled, they’re filled. Your life isn’t like Facebook where you can accommodate 5000 friends.

Here’s my point: If you’re always hanging out with Emotional Vampires who suck out your love, you won’t have time to hang out with great, nourishing, and inspiring people who can give you love.

Look. I’m not saying you should get rid of your toxic spouse or toxic mother. I’m not saying you don’t spend time with needy people. Love them! Remember that Jesus spent time with tax-collectors, prostitutes, and drunkards, reaching out to them in love. That was His main ministry. But He balanced this by spending time with his disciples and with His Father too.

So increase your time with people whose hearts aren’t filled with neediness but love. When you surround yourself with the right people, you fill your heart with love too. So look for mentors, teachers, and coaches who can bless you.

It could even be a virtual mentor. 

For example, by reading my Soulfood Letter each week, you’re “spending time” with me. You’ve made me a virtual mentor. (I’m happy to be of service to you.)

Proverbs 13:20 says, Whoever walks with the wise will become wise; whoever walks with fools will suffer harm.

Choose One Assignment From God

       Now that you’ve read all five actions, pick one.

       Not two, or three, or four, or five.

       Just one assignment from God for today.

1. Believe in your own worthiness

2. Fulfil your dreams

3. Care for your needs

4. Relate with the right God

5. Relate with the right people

       Done?

       Great.

But hey, whatever you chose is still pretty broad.

Write down what one specific action you can do today.

       Love yourself, my friend.

       May your dreams come true,

       Bo Sanchez

    This post is a message that needs to be spread to everyone, Brother Bo! It’s a bull’s eye.

    I could relate with many of your stories, being an insecure person I too was in my school days. It was positive affirmation that allowed me to rise up. It sounded (still is) silly to keep saying all these positive things about you, to yourself, especially when you were the number one unbeliever.

    But unbelief was precisely why we needed those affirmations.

    And it worked (and still does), at least for me.

    Other people I know have made good use of positive affirmation themselves.

    To me, the most powerful affirmation is “I AM THE CHILD OF GOD!” Not only is it poweful. It is also very true (see Psalm 2:7), regardless of whatever circumstance one may be in at this time.

Now m here in mla m attending every sunday at valle verde and i really felt so good and very blessed. Living alone and away from family is very difficult and challenging. We have the neediness of love and care of the people around us…especially of our family. Yes, self love is very important… In times i felt down, lonely and miserable…thank you for reminding us that life is beautiful..thank you bro. bo and bro. obet..for touching the lives of many people including me… mabuhay kau..=)

    Because that’s me. When people bullied me when I was both in elementary and high school, I decided to shut out everyone so I won’t get hurt.

    I’m still recovering from my anger and my best friend of more than 10 years have been helping me.

    This article (and all others) have been very helpful to me.

    Bro. BO,

    IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT GOD AND ABIDE WITH HIS WORDS-NOTHING IS INSURMOUNTABLE! God’s promises are stated in the Bible.
    ROMANS 8:31; DEUTERONOMY 28:1-8; 3 JOHN 1:2, and many more.I remember Joshua 1:8.
    READERS, if you have the right God, then you must also have a Bible, read these verses. if you are interested, i can show you more verses how the right and just God loves us and blesses us.

    Bro. Bo may you continually be used of God to strengthen your brothers and sisters in Christ.

    “learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all..”

    i finally understood the meaning of this line. i am still single and do not have a girlfriend, but i am happy, because i belong to a community that relates to the right God and i am hanging out with the right people that are also committed in the service of God and fellowmen. i also give time to myself by playing in gigs and concerts and spend some time alone doing fun things.

    i must admit that i recently got attracted to a girl is needy in every sense of the word. i spent too much time with her attending to her every needs until such time that i got into an argument with her coz’ of a simple misunderstanding. things changed from then on and i thank God that it happened. it was indeed a blessing in disguise. i must admit i miss the times i had with her now and then but i am still thankful for i now have more time for myself. thank God we have become friends again, though not as close as we once were.

    thank you bro. bo for this inspiring article. thank God that it is not bad to love ourselves more so we can reach out to others better..

    God bless!

    thanks for another great article bro. bo!

    just like some people, eh para rin akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig because I became needy because I thought something is wrong with me.. I equate not having someone in my life with me not being lovable.. But your article made me understand things and gave me clarity on dealing with relationships! Yes, I have to love myself first before I can truly love others.. Please pray for me bro. bo!

    Thanks!

    God Bless!

    Be a blessing to everyone and keep up the good works. Have a nice day & God bless.

    hello Bo,

    i like the article..and thank you for this..i have started the five suggestion though slowly lang pero surely naman..hindi pa siya 100% pero i made the step already and that am grateful..hindi ko rin naman masabi na isa lang doon ang gagawin ko..parang pwede ko namang magawa ng sabay basta slowly lang at regular lang..

    right now, am grateful dahil the Lord grant my prayer..nakikipag communicate na rin ang taong hinihingian ko ng forgiveness before..at last lumambot na rin ang puso nya ..though hindi naman siya nag verbal saying that he forgave me na pero by answering my more than 7 months na email sa kanya at least he answered na..actually sa last na email ko sa kanya inaattached ko rin sa email na yon yong article mo about “Every Storm Will End”..

    masaya talaga kapag mahal natin ang sarili natin..am just glad timely lang talaga na may nangyari sa relationship ko but in a way madali akong nakahingi ng forgiveness at na forgive ko rin ang sarili ko..at sinabi ko after that hurting experience mamahalin ko na ang sarili ko..akala ko noon minahal ko na pero okay lang at least nagising ako at binago ko..kaya madali na ring magmahal sa iba..

    thank you again for this article..i hope and pray tuloy tuloy ang paggawa ko sa mga suggestions mo especially sa step 4 “relate with the right God” i know my God now..the loving, forgiving, merciful and compassionate God…God bless to all of us!

    Hi Bo!

    Yup, i do consider you as my virtual mentor. thank God for you. Your articles just get me every time. Ever since i’ve been listening to you preach and reading your articles, you have made a positive impact on my life. You have helped to change my thoughts, my image of God, and the way that i look at myself.

    But i know that i still have a long long way to go. I want to live the kind of life that you live. I want to have that happy family life that you have. I also grew up feeling like such a loser, with a capital L. but you are living proof that when you walk with God, you can be victorious and feel like a winner. Thank you for inspiring us each and every time! :o)

    Thank you for the advises in your articles. This is a way for me to meditate also.. I think I am always doing #1, thats why i want to do the#2.
    I am still on the situation of realizing what are my “Real Dreams in life” and how would i know if that is God’s dream for me. I hope I can hear the answers you are telling me (but how would I know? pls Father God let me realize it) .

    Brother Bo, thank you for ministering to me. Thank you for being my virtual mentor as you so aptly put it. You have no idea how much this article has affected me. It came at a time that I am actually questioning my value as a person and whether or not God loves me or just considers me a mistake. I am still in that state, which is why nowadays, I have temporarily halted my prayer time in the mornings. You are right. Unless I change how I view God, prayer is worthless and pointless. May I ask that you pray for me, that I can find the right God and know and feel that He loves me. Believe me, I fervently wish I can feel His love. But what I see right now is just His love for others far outweighing whatever He feels for me.

  74. Dianne, on November 17th, 2009 at 10:23 am Said:

    Hi Bo,

    Thank you very much for this article. I know for a fact that I am a truly needy person due to my past insecurities as an overweight child. Reading this article punctured my heart a thousand times, but at the same time opened my eyes to my lack of self-love. Thanks for always taking the time to enlighten us as our Virtual Mentor, you just don’t know how much you are hurting me… ha ha (just joking!) but rather how much you are helping me to accept myself and God’s love in the process. I cannot thank you enough :)

    Good day brother Bo!

  85. Pera, on November 17th, 2009 at 12:52 pm Said:

    Our living body wants more things, true relationships. But God has spoken through Jesus Christ, His Son. This is His message: suffering is necessary. Abandon our desire for physical satisfaction in this earth. He asks that we all share in offering our lives on earth for the benefit of the other person. And because one grows in maturity to serve others, he loses interest in himself, and all physical and material things. Each one’s spiritual growth comes via service to others. Saints even suffer like Christ.
    Soo self-love should not be self-centered. It should be Christ-centered and other-oriented. Amen?

    Your story about Marty and Angela was just like my parents’ story.As far as I could remember,everytime my father gets drunk,he would fight with mom and hurt her.We were six children and I’m the eldest.All of us will just cry when it happens.The following day,when he’s not drunk anymore,it’s as if nothing happens,back to normal.It became a cycle.Some relatives said she should leave him but she didn’t because it will be hard for her to raise six children and she doesn’t want a broken family.
    Fast forward,5 of us are married now and my parents are still together.We finished school through their efforts(he was a driver,mom was laundrywoman)and because he’s old,he doesn’t drink alcohol anymore.
    Is it just neediness that kept our family whole?or my mother’s just a martyr?

  97. bituin, on November 18th, 2009 at 1:03 am Said:

    ” Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself. ” says our Lord. Loving oneself is allowing God’s love to dwell in our hearts, so in turn we can radiate His Love to others by our good works , and that they may give glory ONLY to God. Without God we are nothing. In Him depends our whole being; in Him we move. He is the air that we breathe. ” Man cannot live by bread alone, but from every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord ” , says Jesus.
    True, how can one smile again, ( as Barry Manilow sings ) , if God is not in one’s heart ? Or how can one live again, ( as Mariah Carrey sings ) , if living is without God ? How dark the world of a soul would be, if it does not possess the Light of Jesus, the Light that dispels the obscurity of pride and vainglory ; the Light that makes us humble again and being capable of loving others as God commanded us to do.
    TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY !!!
    Have a very good day everyone !
    Thanks so much Bro. Bo for this sharing and for this precious space.
    God bless you and your family.

    I’m so blessed every time i read your article. And thank GOD for using you as His instrument in giving His messages to me.
    Now I’m learning to love myself and i will try to live by myself, not always depending with the strength of others. And I also prayed to GOD that my husband shall do the same, because he is so dependent to me, that sometimes I can’t breath anymore.
    Thank you for teaching us to grow independently.
    I believed GOD will answer all my prayers.
    Thank you Bro. Bo for the past 6 weeks of teaching regarding relationships. It helps our family.
    P.S. I was so blessed emotionally and spiritually after reading your book ” How to turn THOUGHTS into THINGS”

    Hi Kuya Bo. Thanks for this article. I almost cried. I tried so hard to nurture my family, my relationships with my sisters coz family is so very important to me (we dont have a father anymore & mom is 75). But one of us is paddling away from us ( reading ur article about relationship drift). We tried to pull her back but it seemed she dont want to. So, we always argue, she dont want to be commented or reprimanded coz for her she’s right. we cant fix her. & the sad part is she doesn’t respect our mom. she dont give her love, understanding, patience & care To top it all she even exchange her daughter to a man she just met months ago. She’s becoming an emotional Vampire. Im so sad BO. pls. pray for us. Pray for her. Thanks!

    This article is so FREAKIN’ helpful! Why?

    1) You were specific about the practical steps to achieve self love. I will work on that. Let’s see what happens

    2)Changing my image of God. Have tried working on my dreams but have not been convinced that God wants me to succeed. That has been getting in my way. Subsribing to GodWhispers is slowly revealing a different side of God. Have started to share those with friends

    I was on the bus on my way to Quiapo when I felt this, this emptiness in my heart. It was sudden. I analyzed what I was feeling and then it struck me. I was feeling unappreciated for all the good things that I have been doing. I texted my wife. Told her what I was feeling at that time. I was feeling miserable. I told my wife that when I get to Quiapo, I will proceed directly to the church and pray.
    When I got to the church, I let out my feelings, covering my face with my cap so that I wouldn’t be obvious that I was crying like a baby.
    After praying, I realized that I was being selfish. Brother Bo, I was feeling that selfish desire of being needed and appreciated. I realized that I probably was feeling empty because I wasn’t filling my heart with love, I wasn’t even appreciating myself anymore. It was when I came to a point that I stopped recognizing the Lord’s blessings that I felt empty.
    I talked to the Lord, asked His forgiveness, thanked Him for everything, and I promised Him that I would love myself as He has been showing me love and making me feel loved.
    I felt great when I left the church. I felt the Lord’s loving arms once more.

    Bro Bo,

    Thank you so much for this article. I sent this article to my brother who is currently discerning if he would stay or leave his wife who kept on verbally, emotionally, and physically abuses my kuya. The only thing that makes him keep his marriage is that he is afraid to be alone and he was convinced by this Christian Minister in Singapore that annulment is a sin.

    I ask for prayers for my kuya that God will enlighten him about his marriage and that he’ll be able to find someone who can truly minister to him.

    God bless,
    Mina

    PS Bro Bo, I really wish that you would come up with a book about annulment. The Exorcism book you published was very helpful to me and my family as well.

  162. Vivi, on December 2nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm Said:

    Hi Bo,

    I’d just like to ask, what kind of person do you think you would be now if you still have the same insecurities as you had when you were a kid? About your appearance, your abilities, your failures, etc? Do you think you would still have the same confidence and the same positive outlook that you have now?

    Do you think that in order to be confident, a person has to get rid of the things that makes him insecure first? What if he’s already been trying to improve himself but it’s just not been working? What if there’s no solution to his problems or he doesn’t know the solution because he doesn’t know the cause in the first place?

    Also, what can you say about those instances when a person needs to rely on prescription drugs in order to achieve his healthy self-image. For example, taking birth control pills for acne problems, diet pills for weight problems, or sleeping pills for insomnia, medicine for depression, etc? Let’s say, if he continues popping a pill, he looks great and he feels great, thus he becomes confident. Also, is it ok when a person has to rely on expensive treatments to get rid of their insecurities, which are both time-consuming and budget-consuming. If he stops the pills or the treatments, his problems come back again, and he starts to feel bad again and loses his confidence.

    I guess my question is do you think it’s better for a person to spend his money and/or use medical aids to make him feel good about himself and love himself, than for him to feel negatively about himself and not be confident? Take note that the treatments and medicines are to be taken continuously (no overdosing though), and if he stops, his problems will re-occur.

    Thanks!

    hi bro. bo! nice one! :D
    your article i’ve read today is really good.
    yeah, you’re right, our emotions or let’s say life perceptions can really magnet the forces behind us whether it’ll be positive or negative. it’s really true that there’s a lot of emotional vampires in the world.. e.g., once in your life you’ve been with smart but manipulative people.. and, now, you’re with average people, but then you’re not able to ask them to do special tasks because they don’t have the enthusiasm to do them, and so, ending up of being parasites on your own body..
    but, i believe i can still handle these different people..
    [ “say what you feel and be who you are; because the things that mind don’t matter and the things that matter don’t mind.”] …hehehe parang tongue twister…..
    but then , i still thank you for reminding us that we are filled with wonderful blessings…

    PHYSICALLY because i got black eyed too, body pains and even giving a signal gun fire in his own house carrying our child.

    MENTALLY because he keeps telling me that NOBODY WILL ACCEPT ME because I’m already a MUM and he always telling me that i am so stupid. yes i am because i loved him with all my heart..

    EMOTIONALLY because he cheated on me..and i even read some of texts from his GIRLS!!

    Thanks brother Bo for your brilliant gift of words. Through this blog, I learned to appreciate myself more. The feeling of rejection is not an easy one, it feels like I am dying a thousand death, especially if it comes from a person whom you thought God’s answer to all your prayers. But while reading this blog, I realized that it happened maybe because I failed to recognize my worth and I didn’t care for my own needs and I failed to relate with the right people that’s why I ended up with some emotional vampires. Thanks brother Bo for the inspiration, when I am at the lowest point in my life, I always turn on to your blogs and Kerygma magazines to lift up my troubled spirit. God bless!

I just came into a not successful and not happy relationship, and I’m clueless of what’s really the problem why we had to be separated. I guess now, it answered all my questions, I don”t love myself. I just gave everything to him that time to the point i sacrifice my personal hapiness. Im a battered gf, i can say i am emotionally abused. This article is so so true. Some guys,or may be the guy I loved before was so contented that each sorry on txt or call I can be easily forget everything because I thought i love him. I guess go is right its not love its a need for me, for him to stay because im used that he’s there for me all the time. Thnx for enlightening me and thanks for him in suggesting me to read on ur article! I can proudly say i will be a strong person now!God Bless and more power!

    i can relate to this article. Grabe. You are really a genius mentor. You enlighten our soul by sending inspirational articles. I started reading your articles when i got hired from my work. i have so many things to share about my experiences in life. im only 20. but i feel that i carry the heaviest problem in the world. there are so many life issues to be solved. i cannot share this to anyone because they might not understand or help me. but by reading your articles, i, somehow, feel uplifted. my concern is, im confused whether to resign from my current work or stay here. this is my FIRST WORK EVER. im a fresh grad so there are many many many things that i completely do not know in working. the first day i started, i was oriented for just an hour! and i thought my work is simple (btw, im an admin asst.) but as days continue to pass, it gets complicated and tougher. i really want to give up and surrender from the first week. im not enjoying my stay here which includes my work and some of the people here. can you help me with this? i hope you could read my concern. please help me. i know this is not a really a problem but for me it really is. you know what, sometimes, i cry just to minimize the burden but the feeling of ease is only for a short time. im working for a month and 4 days, so im still new in everything here. im just hoping you could respond to my “problem”. thank you and please continue writing wonderful articles. God Bless Us! :D
